First Love

Paul Louis Villani

First Love

Now for those who don’t know… I play this instrument.
I used to be in bands and I still dabble nowadays.
I spent a few years as a child learning classical music and theory from Maltese Maestro Vincent Pulo.
My fav classical guitar composers are Mauro Guiliani and Andres Segovia.
This image was taken during the Aradale weekend.
The weekend was a huge success and I thouroughly enjoyed spending time with like-minded souls.

    This is great Paul!!
    What a fine instrument.
    I appreciate you sharing it with the rest of us.
    I have heard that when Segovia would travel by airplane, he would always purchase the seat next to him—for his guitar. He did not want to trust something, so valuable to him, to the often careless baggage handlers.
    As someone who is learning to play the guitar (well at least becoming a master at making ugly sounds on the guitar) I can really appreciate your talent.
    You “dabbling” is really an inspriration to me and I would suspect to many others.
    Thank You for your significant contributions to both our eyes and our ears.
