Great Ed! So a few of us here were actually floored! I further noticed that
both those documentaries are also available on youtube. On the actual DVD
there are some photos as extras. A.o. some drawings of a young Andres. There
could be no doubt about where Disney found his inspiration for Mickey Mouse
:D

be
able to play only half as well if ever reaching that ripe old age!
Wow that must mean he was 88 when I heard him in Basel in 1980. My gosh! I
remember thinking it looked like he would barely make it to the chair in
the center of the stage. I expected him to have memory lapses and
mistakes. I was floored. He played beautifully. Someone sitting in the
front row didn't like his seat so switched with me at intermission. The
second half I watched from the front row!
Same year, I hitchhiked or took a train up to Frankfurt to hear Bream. I
even had a few words with him after the concert when he came out to pick
up his footstool.
But isn't it wonderful how in the lute world we can hang out with our
heros at lute seminars? Not gonna happen in the rock world.
