All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

The Deer Hunter
This is a beautiful piece and John Williams does it flawlessly. As a failed electric guitarist I'd give my right arm to play like this but then I wouldn't be able to play anyway so it's kind of self-defeating.
Nevermind.

MR, which of his CDs would you recommend, and how are the two he did with Julian Bream? I wore out one of the latter's Elizabethan lute music tapes twice back in the 1970s.
Revere -- The John Williams CD I have is a double from a collection about 4 years ago. Has over 40 pieces from his career and not a bummer among them. I have a couple of his on vinyl down there, somewhere, but I don't remember which. Have none with Julian Bream and Williams but I can't imagine that''s anything but awesome. I did search a bit on youtube and found them together so they'll be going up here now and again (oh, they're really good :) as well as some from a concert of the Julian Bream Consort where he plays the lute.
I put this up because I've loved the piece ever since I saw The Deer Hunter when it first came out. I have a wonderful version of it by Liona Boyd on vinyl as well.
Next semester I'm going back to my local Jr College's guitar (classical) class-I had three semesters with an excellent professor-and - because I had had 10 years of piano + voice ---I was able to pick up the sight reading ASA I figured out which combination of strings and fingering produce each note...
Come on MR- you must have a decent college program near you that offers classical guitar... C-CS
Great guitar playing is 10% talent and 90% practice. I'm strictly rhythm, I don't make it cry or sing. There are few joys greater than succeeding at playing a song and making no mistakes. Keep trying!
Glad you caught that otherwise I would be in dire straits. I am strictly rhythm. Too spastic to do lead. Buy the best guitar you can afford. A really good guitar will bring your playing up a couple of notches by itself.
Pasto -- Trade up Trade up Trade up! Martin makes a good mahogony one the D-15 can usually be had for well under a grand. (I have one terrific deep tone). If your Ovation's in good shape you might beable to make a decent deal.

I'm sure the jihadis will enjoy it.

Andre -- I can't understand a dang things she's saying :) But I think the Crazy Jihadis are gettin' ready to pour bleach in their eyes.
Why does he look like such a fag? Sorry, borrrring.

Wow, Patricia Kaas is BEAUTIFUL.
And, she has a beautiful voice.
Thanks for sharing that.

I own a dumbass Ovation electric-Acoustic.
Ugh.
I wasn't smart enough when I bought my guitar. But, I'm also not a good enough guitar player to justify buying a better one.
Sameno-- Oh yes. Action is everything.

(never understood why folks liked those Ovations)
