Barry Garneau
Arthritis hi my workhorse hand, now play and sing less, now write about music, listen constantly. One body sense e.g. olfactory and/or, visual goes south; then hearing and touch get better, more comprehensive. Also teaching now, having had a thirst for knowledge became form early on, like Jaco, "formally self-taught", then had four extremely good teachers; two on upright bass (one jazz and the vehicle and one the vehicle and chamber orchestra), one on guitar (harmony and vehicle) and one on free/world/jazz/music and got me playing with consumate artists. Lucky man. 'Must of been the right musician, must have been the right teachers". If it had to have a genre name it would be 'Parlor Music'.

Everything is given to my granchildren coming up except a Sakazo Nakade '63 unique sounding classical guitar. also a flamenco guitar by Francisco Navarro in Paracho Michoacan Mexico. Spainish Gypsy music being a long time passion of mine. Too bad I can't play it
