When guitars...

In 2001 I attended the Aspen Summer Music Festival as both a student and performer. During the 6 weeks I was there, most of the music being practiced and performed had existed in the classical guitar repertoire for many lifetimes. Although those pieces were quite beautiful and timeless, I kept wanting to hear something new and different. To keep me company on my drive back to Vermont, my wife sent me a box of CDs, one of which was "Little Earthquakes"  by Tori Amos. By the time I left the Midwest, I knew it was up to me to find something "new" and "different." When I arrived back home, I began arranging Tori Amos' "Winter" for voice and guitar.
