Practice, Practice, Practice
Thursday, July 05, 2007
Glenn Kurtz fell in love with the guitar at an early age, and set his sights on a career as a classical guitarist. He was well on his way to achieving that when he abandoned the guitar in his twenties. He returned to it a decade later. Kurtz's new memoir, Practicing, chronicles his up-and-down love affair with the guitar.

If this is the Glenn Kurtz that went to Tufts University (1983/84), then HELLO GLENN! We lost touch after school. Please pass along my e-mail address so we can stay in touch.
Glad you are playing again!

Please ask Glenn if he has ever heard Eddie Lang's masterpiece recording of Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C Sharp Minor. Also, his take on the great Django Rhinehart compared to whom Eric Clapton is greasy kid stuff.
