If anyone would like to know more about Segovia's early years, just contact Thomas Garcia (Miami University - OH). He has contributed to the Lute Society journal for many years. 2013/12/15 howard posner <[1]howardpos...@ca.rr.com>

I just happen to own a copy of Segovia: an Autobiography of the Years 1893-1920, translated by W.F. O'Brien (McMillan 1976). I may be the only living person who does. Odd little book, full of all sorts of descriptions of people's faces and clothes, and painfully obvious as an attempt to bolster the Segovia Legend, which often involves denigrating the contributions of other guitarists. -- References 1. mailto:howardpos...@ca.rr.com 2. mailto:willsam...@yahoo.co.uk To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
