The guitar I am playing on here is a Martin Fleeson, an English luthier. It is about 28 years old. Martin unfortunately died of Cancer a few years after it was made.

Thankyou for your comments. I always play through my heart and soul, and I am profoundly moved when someone appreciates the difference.

Ciao Cheryl

Cheryl, I am convinced you are one of the greatest ever.

nice, but in my opinion, you're playing too much with the speed, there's a large difference in some parts of your version, it sounds better when you keep a constant pace

[cherylgriceguitar]

@TheLouis608 Thanks for your input. I disagree (otherwise I wouldn't play it that way), but its nice to hear other people's ideas. My music is always evolving and changing, and responds to how I 'feel' the music at the time. But I always play Lauro Waltzes with rubato (unlike other european dances such as Bourees and Gigues).

I first heared this tune on CNN somewhere at the beginning of the first golf war when they switched to commercials. An other one at the same time before the commercials started was Choro Tipico No1 from Heitor Villa Lobos. I felt in love with both tunes and wanted to play them but to this day they are above my pay grade..Can you play Tipico No 1, I am sure you will love it too ♪♫♪♫

For a long time I thought women weren't allowed to play the guitar. Now it seems they're everywhere. It's a good thing they changed the rules. You played this beautifully.

Превосходный вкус и отменная техника, спасибо!

How beautiful is to enjoy such good interpretation of this waltz. You really made me feel like sitting taking a nap in front of a tiny house somewhere in venezuelan plains. Just heart-touching.

Greeting from Caracas, Cheryl ^^
