Dear Reader,

Happy spring to you or if you are in New England, happy a-little-more-sun-than-usual to you!

Resolution. In music it can't be rushed, but it always arrives. Each composer masking it in their own vernacular. I find solace in this. It's why I practice.

Listen Well,

Aaron

Recent Concerts and New Videos
​March Concerts and classes in California went wonderfully. Meeting old friends, collaborators, students, and meeting new fans while finding exceptional Mexican food, and walking among the Redwoods made for an excellent and fulfilling tour.
Catherine was kind enough to take a few videos of me playing amongst the Redwoods in Muir Woods, Click HERE.

Pepe Romero Jr. - Luthier
​I had the pleasure of spending some time with luthier Pepe Romero Jr. in his lovely Southern California studio. We talked woods a bit but mainly played his guitars and made a few videos while at it. The first two:

• J.S. Bach, Prelude in C Major​
• Harold Arlen, Over the Rainbow​

Subscribe to his YouTube channel to be the first to see the others when they are released.

Thank you for listening and have a safe and adventurous Spring!
