On RF's Facebook today:
We are preparing for a second Guitar Circle course at Glen Cove, Long Island in mid-August 2022. I'm hoping that we will be able to attract a greater number of Audients this year than last, who provided a significant contribution to the course which I would like to develop.
No interest in playing guitar? Great!
Ears? Even better.
Innocent ears? Well, while we're on a roll, Audients are most welcome to join the guitarists, strap on their ears and rock out!
"We have an approach to the plectrum guitar, in Guitar Craft, based on fundamentals. We don't tell people what to play. I mean music is available to everyone. We don't try and determine a person's personal voice but rather help them approach it. What we can do is provide the fundamentals for the acquisition of a sound technique. What people do with that is up to them. Once you change one part of what you do and who you are, everything else changes too. Once one begins to apply oneself to the acquisition of a craft, in this case playing the guitar, and developing an alert attitude to what one is doing, other things occur in your life as well. One finds, maybe, that standards which were acceptable to you before are no longer acceptable."
