'Top 10 Sources - Classical Guitar'

Update: 2010

Sadly all the 'Top 10 Sources' links have been taken over.
I have removed the link from my links section and can only apologise for any inconvenience.
However, I decided to leave the original post in place, and here it is:

If you recall, a few days ago, I was able to announce that 'Life of a musician' had been included in the 'Top 10 Sources - Guitar' section.
This, we were delighted about.
Things have moved on since then.
The very nice people over at 'Top 10 Sources', contacted me again to suggest having a purely classical guitar section.
This, we thought to be an excellent idea, as we were being swallowed up by all the other genres of guitar playing.
So, yesterday, I was delighted to find, that true to their word, 'Top Ten Sources', now has a classical guitar section.

I have added a direct link in my links section, and, for those of you interested in classical guitar, it will be worth watching as the site develops.
There's already some posts about an interesting site, 'Classical Guitar Video Archive', so if you are trying to find some old footage, it may be a good place to look.
I'll update you all from time to time as to how it's going.

Meanwhile, David Juritz was in Vienna yesterday, and again today, before setting off for Venice. I must say I'm rather envious. If you are going to go busking, what better place to be than Venice....

Top 10 Sources for Guitar - We Made It!

Contact with Robin remains a little sporadic, but, some messages are getting through. I can tell when he has been away for a few days as I start receiving strange e-mails.
Usually ghoulish pictures of himself taken on his apple photo booth, resulting in very distorted and rather amusing images.
No I won't be publishing them here...
Also icards, the last one being of a frog, I think cabin fever must be setting in, although he has to do something when he isn't practicing.

Last night he did go out to see a great jazz trio, with extra alto sax and flugel horn, sounds interesting.
He has also met up with his neighbour, who hasn't heard any practice, since the socks have been stuffed between the stings. That's a relief for Robin as he's always aware of intruding on other peoples privacy when away from home. Hence, we rarely stay in hotels on holiday, opting for self contained houses/villas to get around this problem. He and his neighbour seem to get on well which is good.
Robin has also found a room, hidden away somewhere, that he can run through some pieces without having to worry.

I had good news today, 'Top 10 Sources' contacted me and said that 'Life of a Musician' is a 'very interesting and unique blog' which they have added to their guitar section. It's nice to be appreciated, and, I have of course, added this to my links.

Robin, has also made it onto the front page of 'The Daily News', the QM2 on board newspaper. The first of his two guitar concerts is today, 2.30 mid-Atlantic time, which I think is 4.30 GMT, but it may be 5.30, as they seem to lose an hour most days. Either way, whenever I get some news on the concert I shall keep you posted.
