    Dear Guitar Friends,
    I am still smiling after witnessing violist Kimberley Fitch and guitarist James Bishop Edwards performing as one of the best duets I have ever heard in terms of musical tonality, choice of music, (featuring a world premier by Roseburg OR composer Jason Heald), and sheer fun. Thanks to everyone who came out. Details of the next meeting will figure in Vol 2 of this month’s newsletter, but I wanted to highlight some local guitar events that are coming up in the very near future:

    Premiere Flamenco music & dance ensemble led by Berto Boyd returns to the Majestic to take listeners on a journey through a musical landscape that can be haunting and deeply moving, due in no small part to the spine-tingling duende, or trance-like spirit unleashed by the music. Additionally, this concert will feature special guest artist and dancer Melissa Cruz from the Bay Area.
