11.06    Morning Sitting at 07.30.

Breakfast at 08.00.

The mixing of Beginners’ & Immediates’ names in the selection of performing groups, which took place yesterday evening, has been ascribed to the magical properties of The Hats Of Nunez.

Hernan did not sleep much in the night. The construction work got underway at 02.00 following Hernan’s conventional late-night busynesses discharging roles as Director of The LCG and Guitar Craft in Europe & South America, plus Sr. Nunez the Promoter.

Meeting at 09.00 with the Buddies, GC Office & Dr. Mike to address the compiling, recapitulating & remembrancing of the Guitar Craft history. This includes personal histories, memories & recollections, formal & anecdotal, long & short; and includes approaches to consolidating & ordering the Primaries & repertoire and various exercises.

Kitchen Team with guitars at 09.45.

Performance by the Beginners & Immediates at 21.00. When they entered the ballroom, one chair was found to be missing from the Circle.

Strange sounds emerged during the performance, plus some comments from the audience. Overall, a very well spirited presentation, c. 45 minute in all.

A baby in the audience cried from time to time.
