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.

Practicing is available for purchase at amazon.com

Monday, July 23 at 7 pm

    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.

    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!
