publications, including my friend Robin Nolan’s iPad publication. [You can find it on iTunes]. You can read my review of the reissue of ‘Hungaria,’ Swing Guitars,’ by Fapy Lafertin’s. You can also find some interviews and lessons that I have contributed to ‘Just Jazz Guitar’ Magazine, including my interview with Tchavolo Schmitt. [Print only, but back issues are available]. And lastly, I did an interview with Stochelo Rosenberg in a cool site called ‘Guitar International,’ [www.GuitarInternational.com] Anyhow, I hope that you all enjoy the posts and info to follow, please let me know, and feel free to help get the word out!
