Hi,
I'm in Lenexa, KS also known as Kansas City or 'fly-over country'. I've played off and on (mostly off) for decades and am currently working on Blott en Dag and some blue grass stuff.

- Started playing acoustic guitar at age 62 in 2020. Started playing classical guitar a little over two years ago. Never really read music or played an instrument before, although I did quite a bit of singing.
- Preparing for my first recital! So, there are 10 "easy" pieces on my music stand right now. The usual suspects: Carcassi, Carulli, Calatayud, Giuliani, Mertz, Sagreras, plus a piece by Catharina Pratten & Tatiana Stachak. Don't have my encore piece determined yet and I'm considering a piece from Maria Linnemann or Thierry Tisserand. The Linnemann piece would be brand new but the Tisserand piece I've played already. Decision, decisions...

Toronto, Canada. Began with 'acoustic' guitar lessons at about age ten; classical guitar lessons throughout my teens. Played only sporadically during my twenties and thirties. Returned to regular practice at about age forty. Soon encountered 'early music' and, after acquiring the relevant instruments, devoted increasing time to lute and vihuela. Gave up playing altogether in my late fifties after losing 'normal' use of my left hand to cerebrovascular injury. Gradually resumed guitar practice, initially as part of a program of rehabilitation, but later for its own sake. Joined ToneBase primarily as a guide for re-learning, but found it rekindled my youthful enthusiasm for guitar! On my 'music stand': the entire series of repertoire books of the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM). Currently aiming to play half a dozen 'etudes' at every grade. (Sorry, that's a lot more than a single line!)

From San Francisco, California. Started studying the classical guitar with George Sakellariou in the 1970s and then with Maestro Abel Carlevaro in the 1980s in Montevideo, Uruguay. Currently I am working methodically through Carlevaro's complete works for solo guitar, of which there are more than 70 compositions.
