Couperin on a 2012 Friederich guitar
I do, and always will, believe that Daniel Friederich is the greatest luthier of this century. This was filmed rather quickly but it came out quite good, thanks to Kai Narezzo, so I wanted to share it with everybody. The piece is: "Les Barricades Mysterieuses" by Francois Couperin.

A Wing Chun Documentary by Empty Mind Films
I love the films that "Empty Mind Films" produces. They're informative, with a stunning visual appeal and regal grace one rarely encounters. This is an upcoming documentary on the art of Wing Chun, which I studied intensely for some years. I hope you can familiarize yourselves with Empty Mind FIlms, and perhaps this film can be your introduction!

The LAGQ and Shingo Fujii
Last year, the Loudoun County school system in Virginia commissioned a work for guitar quartet and guitar orchestra by Shingo Fujii from Kyoto, Japan. The piece is entitled "Shiki", which means "Seasons". But more deeply, it is a work remembering the tragic tsunami and earthquake which devastated Japan and her people a year ago. Here is a clip from a mini-documentary they filmed while we were there.

Espressing Myself
Bradbury's in MadIson, WI was highly recommended by Yelp and locals alike. I have to say, their dark-roasted espresso blend, brewed through a bottomless portafilter, easily rivaled the espresso at Joe in NYC and Intelligentsia in LA. great light crepes, too.
