Sunday Morning with Carcassi
As we push through September the weather has turned near perfect. I'm no meterologist, but I think it is the result of Hurricane Ike pushing through. Dallas was braced for the worst, but got only some rain.
This morning I am sitting on my porch reviewing Carcassi's Study (Op 60) No 6. It is not one of the "hits" of Op 60, but it is a cool with ( Read more... ) -
New Domain and Journal Links
I recently moved my website from the geocities.com domain to nedallascg.com. I then purged the geocities web page and will shut it down after a bit.

New Toy
I just received an Ebay purchase - a Yamaha Silent Guitar (SLG100N). This is a ton of fun. Now I can practice in the room with the family as they watch a movie -- and no one complains ( Read more... ) -
8 Yr Old Student
I posted a photo and an entry about my daughter wanting to learn guitar. Well, that only lasted so long. Nothing unusual about that! They (the 6 and 8 yr olds) would pick up their guitars every-so-often, but not on a regular basis. So I decided, recently, to move my 8 yr old up to the Duncan book 1. Tanisha really responded. I'm guessing ( Read more... ) -
