I might as well mention the other ones that had no equal. These were the greatest in thier day.
1) Julio-Martinez Oyanguren (Uraguay); Decca, Columbia 78s
2) Mario Escudero,; ABC Records
3) Los Romeros,; Mercury & Phillips
4) Dave Apollon (Mandolinist); Coral LPs, Decca 78s (The Heiftz of the instrument)
5) David Moreno; Capitol & Orfeon LP
6) Chet Atkins, RCA
Should any Guitar player have the good fortune of hearing these mostly forgotten artists, they would immidiately know they were in the presence of the Masters of the instrument
I once had a chance to see Los Romeros at Temple University, back in the early 70s (when music was important enough for Universitys to hold concerts). From that moment on, I viewed the guitar as the most difficult of instruments to master. It is clearly ,next to impossible today, to hear artistry at that level.........Frank
SD, You ever listen to any of these?
