May 2010I'd like to thanks everyone who came along to the shows that Asia played in Europe and Japan, that my Trio played in the UK in March, and that Yes played in the US in February and Mexico on 5th April.
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING ALONG!!
Also I'd like to thank my fellow musicians:
John Wetton, Geoff Downes, Carl Palmer, Ross Stanley, Dylan Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, Oliver Wakeman & Benoit David. THANK YOU!!
Behind the scenes, Trudy Green (Yes), Martin Darville (Asia) & Peter Conway (Trio) worked hard to organize the shows! THANK YOU, too.
If you’re interested in the history of the guitar, then "The Ramirez Collection" by Brian Whitehouse (published by ASG) will reward you with much information and examples (on CD included) about the way the Spanish guitar, as we know it today, developed and is continuing to develop.
Segovia is famous for playing Ramirez guitars, so there is a chapter dedicated to some of these particular models. The recordings of these and other makers guitars are very good, the opening track is exceptional. Brian’s performance of "Gavotta" by Ponce on an Amalia Ramirez built guitar sounds wonderful! Great pictures and archive shots too, make this an enjoyable book and CD. Check the web.
I noticed the radio recording was alive, bright and exciting! When I bought the single, I was at first disappointed with it; it was comparatively dull & unexciting.Live and studio needn't be in conflict. Rather like a play, and a film. Two different interpretations of the same (or modified) script. They each have different potentials, so now with so many amazing ways to record, anything goes!
It could be around 50,000 hours I've spent playing these strings instruments and it is still a learning curve.
See you along the way,
Martin MC-38 Steve Howe Limited Edition
When Martin produced the 00-18SH Limited Edition a decade ago all 250 instruments sold out. Now Steve has once again collaborated with Martin to produce the MC-38 Steve Howe Limited Edition guitar. The instrument is based on the MC-28, an acoustic Martin that has been a constant on his guitar rack in recent years. As noted on the Martin site, only about 1100 of this unusual model between 1981 and 1996, but its grand auditorium cutaway body, oval soundhole, 22 fret fingerboard and superb "live" tone so won over Steve that he suggested it be the starting point for a new Steve Howe Special Edition.
With the addition of some personal touches and a bit of abalone pearl to give it stage presence, the MC-38 Steve Howe Special Edition - the first Martin to have an oval soundhole in more than a decade - was born.
Visit Martin's site for complete details on this special instrument, including finding a dealer for purchase.
