I was a student of Keith's back in the late 80's. My hands gave out on my but never my love of classical guitar. I still regard those days at UMO a magical time. Heartbroken to hear that Keith passed away earlier this year. RIP my friend!

The more I listened the more this performance drew me into the intricacies of the music. It is beautiful yet surprising at every turn. Played with humility and I think an understanding of what this piece is meant to say.

Exceptional performance, intelligent interpretation, tasteful selection. Bravo.

[carldimow]

A wonderful piece - and a very artistic and thoughtful performance.

Beautiful piece and performance El Maestro!

[eechentra]

Outstanding! The Maestro strikes again! The phrasing is phenomenal. No place hide with that sound equipment. Did your instructor make you learn that backwards? Asking for a friend ;)

[DonCoyoteDeLaMange]

Rest in peace, Crook, you old crank, inveterate contrarian, tormented soul, defender of Trump. And fine musician, as here demonstrated.
