It's a chilly and wet day here so I've been sitting here listening to Andres Segovia and reading today. I thought I'd share one of my favourite guitar players.
Yep! I have a little Andres in my iTunes collecitom - ripped from a vinyl record. A little useless trivia - Charo (the cuchi cuchi girl), birth name Maria Rosario Pilar Martinez Molina Baeza, is purported to have studies flamenco guita at a school for underprivledged kids founded by Segovia. (She is an amazing talent on guitar by the way)
I saw Segovia in person at the Philadelphia Academy of Music around 1954 while a student at the U. of Pennsylvania. As was said, just a chair, a footstool and a guitar. He played that piece as well as other works.

I've heard recordings of Segovia many times. That reminded me of Carlos Montoya a different style. Once when I was in high school in Cleveland, Ohio. We were in the cheap seats of the auditorium and looked down on the stage where I could see a bald head and a guitar. Never did see the hands or fingers. Later, fall 1983, he performed in Wickenburg Arizona. This time I didn't have to sit so far away - I could see hands and fingers flying around the instrument. He too is a master of his craft.
One of the best solo performances I remember wasn't guitar, but rather Piano. Back when I was stationed at Hill AFB, we went to a concert in Salt Lake City with George Winston - one of my all time favorite pianists.
