<...>You forgot the link. Here it is: http://www.romeroguitarquartet.com/<...> Sorry about that, and thanks for covering me :)

The first Classical Guitar CD I ever bought was by Pepe and Celin. I had no idea who they were, but saw the CD in a record store, recognized a couple of the composers as being in the style of Spanish Nationalism Music, and bought it on a whim. What a lucky find that was!!! It still gets good rotation on my CD player.

I didn't know about the quartet. I know and even I have some recordings of Pepe Romero. He is amazing.

Yes I was in guitar heaven last night. Leilani and I went to see a concert by Los Romeros, the premier guitar quartet in the world. What a treat, to hear such great music played with such virtuosity. No amps, pickups, pedals, effects, just fingers guitars and a couple of microphones. Not only was each member "one with the guitar" but they played together as one guitarist with eight hands and 24 strings.

Even if classical guitar is not your thing, if you ever get a chance to see The Romeros, don't deny yourself. You will be amazed at what these people can do with acoustic, classical guitars.
