The summer of 1990, while I was working at Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, my friend Andrea Gunderson (please visit her website and tell her that I sent you!) loaned me her copy of Nouveau Flamenco, by Ottmar Liebert. I have followed Mr. Liebert ever since and I continue to enjoy his music and flamenco guitar style. That same year I also discovered Cecilia Bartoli, and I have been in love with her (voice) ever since!

Thanks for visiting my blog, Gary! After you've done it a few times, making a guitar by hand is pretty easy and very quiet. Did you find my blog through the Guild of American Luthiers website?
