He finished the set with the broken string. The glitch did not prevent Start, Go! from securing the prize.The same thing happened to Elephantom. Pianist...
...established himself as an innovator, not only of the acoustic guitar but of a movement whose interlocking eclecticism and traditionalism have informed generations of music makers. The novel musical themes of his 1969 debut—an entirely instrumental album called “6- And 12-String Guitar”—are only surpassed by the technical skill necessary to execute them. Kottke is the most recognizable living American associated with acoustic guitar performance and not without good reason. His career straddles the divide between the independent, underground performer and the performer who brings his gifts...
