The Silver Swan (Joplin / Bergeyk )

One of the many fine arrangements made by Ton Van Bergeyk. We fingerpicking guitarist of a certain age owe a debt of gratitude to Stefan Grossman, Kicking Mule Records, and the guitarist, like Ton, who inspired us.

Thanks, all, for listening and for your nice comments. The guitar is a five year old Collings OM. It has an Engleman spruce top, mahogany back/sides and a 24.9" short scale. It's a gem.

Lovely...

I'd definitely buy your teaching videos if ever you decided to get into that.

You give the pieces you play just that right touch that makes them unique and uniquely yours.

Plato argued about the downsides of instrumental music and discouraged people from listening too passionately.

Nonetheless Im sure that he would have you playing in a symposiun...
