| Adrian Legg? He's made it to the US, has he? Yeah, I've seen him, and
if you're a guitarist, go along, you'll be impressed. I saw him last
year, and kept thinking "how does he DO that?"...
He also has a good line in chat between numbers.

| I was hoping someone from Europe would respond! ;')
Adrian is from England I believe. He is making the rounds in
the US now...this last CD called "Guitar for Mortals" was produced
in LA. I guess he has another CD called "Guitars and Cathedrals" or
something to that effect.
IMHO this man is so good that on one of the songs he plays...if you
close your eyes and just LISTEN you would think someone is playing
the harp....I consider that pretty darn impressive - that he can
play the guitar so delicately but so fully.
Glad to hear that he isn't a "bore" on stage either.
I am looking forward to hearing him tonight at Johnny D's and would
recommend that anyone who's into acoutic guitar playing try to come
and hear this guy play.

| YES! Very much...
He is extremely talented and the stories he told were great. Another
nice thing was that he talked alot about what inspired him to write
a certain piece of music...I like that - it helps you understand/
appreciate the musician better.
I even chatted with him for a bit before the show.
I guess that was the second time Adrian had been to Johnny D's. THere
was a could turn out of people for the show....he said he will be
come back soon.
It was DEFINITELY worth the $7!
FYI - he has 2 CDs out: Guitars and other Cathedrals
Guitars for Mortals - this is one that I have
Listen to him - and you'll be hooked!

| 221.5 | Where can you get "Guitars and other Cathederals" from ?
| YOROWN::WALTERS | May you never... | Mon May 18 1992 10:16 | 14 |
| Hi,
I used to have the above mentioned album on tape until the car stereo
decided that it liked it too and ate it :-(
The album is deleted over here in Britain, although I hear it is available in
the States. anybody got any idea where I might be able to get it on CD ??
BTW I have the new "Guitar for lesser mortals" - it's pretty good although
IMHO is not as flowing as "Guitars and other Cathederals" which is pretty
amazing stuff !
If anybody has any hints as to how I can get hold of
"Guitars and other Cathederals" on CD, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks,
Chris Walters

| I love it...here in the US we have to get Euro imports of our more
obscure local heroes and then you guys across the pond have to get US
imports of *yours*....

| Maybe we should set up a co-operative across the pond with the aim of importing
and exporting. If that didn't work, we could always relocate obscure musicians
from the States to Britain and vice-versa. Another way to beat the brown
envelope...
