A wonderful bluesy/jazzy piece that just makes you feel good for that first cup of coffee on Monday morning or any other afternoon or late night. Wonderful piece! "Hope" by Cim Frode , who is one of my new favorite artists! What a guitarist! Cim's work spans both the Celtic world and his tremendous original pieces like "Hope".

"This Week in Fingerstyle" curated by  Daryl Shawn ! Put your headphones on or AirPods in and disappear into these wonderful sounds! First up is "Maelstrom" by the incredible Calum Graham ! Just first class from  beginning  to end.  "Falso 9" by Nacho Eguia is a beautiful nylon string piece with Tango & Folklore influences. Cool!

"This Week in Fingerstyle" curated by  Daryl Shawn ! Put your headphones on or AirPods in and disappear into these wonderful sounds! First up is "Memoria Andaluza" by Agustin Amigo & Tommy Berre ! Two of my favorite guitarists/composers who each seem to have a never-ending well of inspiration. This is another! What a treat to have them both together!
