...gratifying guitar glimmerings...

This first WAGS meeting of March blew in blustery, like the weather outside--squalls of classical, gusts of flamenco, a drizzle of blues, and followed by rhythmic downpours of innovative guitar from all around the room.

The evening was a bit relaxed and informal--a warm and inviting environment with friendly folks and a meandering cat (Lily) taking up residence on perfectly good laps that weren't doing anything else...

...this evening, the responsibility for guitar recital rotated, circuitously cycling through the circle of  genuinely grand guitarists, gratifying the entire audience with ambient artistry--a seriously sumptuous set of auditory sensations...

Ok, ok, so we really had a bit of fun, each guitarist taking a turn or two, some singing songs familiar enough that many joined in, some playing fascinating instrumental arrangements, as well as some tidbits from singer/songwriters in the group demonstrating personally developed instrumentals and vocals.

This was yet another marvelous meeting at the wonderfully warm and welcoming environment of the Inn at Lucky Mud, and many thanks to our hosts Sunrise and Jessica Fletcher for supporting our musical madness and minor mayhem!

The upcoming featured performer for the March 28th meeting is Glen Bristow. While he cites his uncle Rick as one of his sources of inspiration, his guitar style exudes an eclectic energy derived from a wide range  of musical styles and artists. For those who have been fortunate enough to be at the last couple of meetings, we've been treated to a number of exciting examples of Glen's enticing guitar work, and thus know that this upcoming performance is one not to be missed!

See you there!
