Here I am in Felix Manzanero’s shop in Madrid, Spain.
this 2nd photo is me, my wife of 50 years, along with Felix and his wife Soli. Sad but he is mostly blind and does not make any more precious instruments.

new music post
I just posted to Jango or RadioAirplay.com my “Ode to Paco” which is dedicated to Paco de Lucia who passed this last Wednesday. I met him back in 1986 and wrote this shortly after. He never heard it but I felt compiled to share it with all. Please enjoy

Music 101 series
I started Music 101 to enable people of all ages, how to read music and understand how it works. I have just finished my conclusion with lesson 6. lesson 1 was about how the lines developed and how a sign [cleffs] tell one where the letter name of the notes lie. lesson 2 was about scales and how the note work. lesson 3 was about chords. lesson 4 you learn about key signatures. lesson 5 and 6 fills in everything you need to know to write and read music for in the last – lesson 6 we write out a composition.
If you ever wanted to know any of this or you have a friend who is musical, turn them on to this. it’s on youtube under GilPiger Music 101
enjoy
