....a classical jazz interpretation of those famous melodies performed on solo guitar. Maybe my favorite recorded CD...who knows? Done usually in the wee hours of the night one season. I remember renting a $12,000 guitar which I nervously kept under my bed for a week. This probably helped finish the CD in a timely fashion.
