Dear Bradford,
You have appeared on my screen for many years, playing, teaching and discussing all kinds topics. It seems like you are a personal friend.
Performances by the great masters (Segovia, Bream, Williams) are awesome, but music performed by those one personally knows has a special appeal. All you know of that person, their voice, personality and shared experiences are there behind the guitar.
Is there a collection of pieces that you performed available? Something similar to an iTune album that can be downloaded?
I am sure your students and friends would love to support you and purchase recordings of your performances.

Aww, shucks, thanks for those kind words. I also consider my followers to be my friends…so…many…friends! I don’t have a solo album specifically. I guess I should get on that but I’ve been so busy just doing videos. I am working on an all Italian concert programme which might work. I also have an Early Music from Italy collection I’m playing which I might record.
