CLASSICAL CD

Hi everybody,

Lately I have been recording allot of classical guitar. When I was in bands every once in awhile I would do a classical gig for a church wedding or a dinner Party. A long time ago I was asked to
do a party in Newtown CT for the mayor of Danbury CT. Gene Eriquez to celebrate his wife's pregnancy. It was an interesting gig, and the people treated me well. Now I have recorded a classical CD.

One of the songs I have recorded is Sarabande { From Violin Sonata In B Minor} by J.S. Bach. It was recorded on Al Di Meola's first solo recording. He was at an early age the guitar player for
The Return To Forever Band which was one of the first fusion bands,  which included great musicians. He replaced Bill Connors who was the original  guitar player for that band. I met Bill Connors, once a long time ago in Manhattan. He invited me up to his apartment. He played some guitar for me, and his left hand was amazing. He told me that Return To Forever band was the
first band he ever played with and it was a shock to his system. As he was talking to me, I notice a hole in the ceiling, and I asked him, "What happens when it rains?" His answer was that rain pours in. OK.

Joe Diorio the great jazz guitar player, who has played with everybody from Pat Metheny to Joe Pass, when he heard some of my classical music he said  " He thought it was some beautiful stuff."
