...well, no, not really. Sorry. However, this is an opportunity to call attention to the fact that the astute viewer will have discovered a subtle addition to these 'pages': yes, that's right, Frank, there's a new LINK (Clear Note Publications) under 'Google News' in the right-hand sidebar. If one were to actually go so far as to click on this link, one would be taken in nano-moments to a website advertising (warms the cockles of your heart, doesn't it , Jeff?) a new publication of '13 Laments for Solo Guitar', composed by Berklee faculty members. Ok, you can see where this is going. Yes, I am responsible for one of those lucky 13. Scroll down a bit on this screen, and you'll be treated to the sight of me casually (and, notice, without apparent effort!) holding up a mighty redwood in northern Cal. And, of course, there's a little information (thankfully very little) about my contribution to this new anthology. Now, far be it from me to suggest anything, but, with the holidays coming, you might just want to keep all of those classical guitar virtuosi on your shopping list in mind...
