Michael Chapdelaine Nov 14th, Concert Reminder- Ron Stavale [ 11/10/2009 - 23:23 ] #
Dear Friends of MFGS
Just a reminder for Michael Chapdelaine’s concert this Saturday,
November 14th. Show is at 7:30.
(Doors open @ 6:30)

Michael received great reviews from MFGS members after his last concert in March 2008. He is truly a fabulous guitarist and entertainer with amazing expressiveness and breathtaking technique. Michael is the only guitarist in the world to win international honors in both nylon and steel string competitions. You won’t want to miss him (besides, it’s our last concert of the year!) We’ve mentioned that he was a student of Andres Segovia and on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiAbqfaYGwk there is a tape from a master class with the master himself. Segovia listens and then impatiently disses a young Chapdelaine off the stage since Michael isn’t following Segovia’s transcription precisely. It's about 9 minutes long but you'll see that Michael makes the best of it and he has come a long way from that day; we hope you’ll see him this Saturday.
Here are a couple of songs you might hear on Saturday.
