This is a charming collection of shorter compositions for the classical guitar arranged and fingered by one oftoday's most outstanding artists. The folio does not require virtuoso technique, nor does it contain any major works for the instrument, but rather presents some of the simpler pieces beloved by all who respond to the magic voice of the guitar.

Voici une collection charmante de compostitions relativement breves pour la guitare classique arrangees et doigtees par l'une des plus remarquables artistes contemporaines. Ces oevres n'exigent pas un technique virtuose, et elles ne sont pas non plus classees parmi les oeuvres majeures du repertoire, mais elles representent plutot une gamme de morceaux plus simples qui sont fort apprecies de to us ceux vibrent ala voix magique de la guitare.

Liona Boyd holds a unique position in the world of classical guitar. Through her composition talents, extensive international touring and eighteen record albums she has developed a loyal following and is acknowledged as one of the world's leading classical guitarists. Liona's eclectic music has developed over the years to embrace not only the classical style, but also pop, jazz, latin and soft rock.
Born in London, Liona came to Canada at age six, where she gave her first "concert" on the treble recorder as part of the ocean liner's talent competition. At age 14 she asked her parents for a guitar as a Christmas present. After hearing the great English guitarist, Julian Bream, Liona determined to master the instrument and took lessons with Eli Kassner. Private classes with artists like Narcisco Yepes, Andres Segovia, Alirio Diaz and Bream himself followed and helped refine her musicianship. Liona completed a Bachelor of Music Degree in Performance at the University of Toronto where she graduated with honors and won first prize in the Canadian National Music Competition. After completing two years of private study with Alexandre Lagoya in Paris, Liona returned to North America and recorded her first album for Boot/London Records. Her debut at Carnegie Hall received rave reviews and The New York Times praised her "flair for brilliance". Liona began to give concerts around the globe, performing with symphonies and participating in international festivals from Rio to Istanbul, New Delhi, Seoul, Edinburgh and Tokyo. In North America she toured extensively as a solo artist, as well as performing with such orchestras as The Boston Pops under John Williams, and guested on numerous television shows and specials including several appearances on the Tonight Show. Liona believes that, "...music contributes profoundly to the richness and beauty of life. I feel so fortunate to be able to share this wonderful international language with people around the world." Breaking with classical tradition, she toured with Gordon Lightfoot, and joined Tracy Chapman for a major tour of Europe. As a soloist Liona became the first performer to play in the new Paris Opera House. The Canberra Times in Australia wrote, "Breathtakingly beautiful playing, the most musically accomplished and technically flawless playing I have heard from any guitarist." Her records cover a wide range of music from baroque repertoire recorded with the English Chamber Orchestra under Andrew Davis; two Christmas albums; a joint effort with Chet Atkins; "Persona," her new age/pop project produced by Michael Kamen and including Eric Clapton, Dave Gilmour, and Yo-YoMa; and a live record made in Tokyo. Liona often performs her own music as well as works composed especially for her. "The First Lady of the Guitar" has had the opportunity to play private concerts for dozens of world leaders. Her fans also cross international political borders, for not only has she given Fidel Castro a command performance, she has also performed for the British Royal Family, the King and Queen of Spain, the President of the United States, Prime Ministers of Canada and Britain, and the Chancellor of Germany, as well as at N.A.T.O. and Summit Conferences. Her musical talents have been recognized by many gold and platinum records, four Juno Awards, three honorary degrees, and The Order of Canada. In addition, she is a five time winner of the Guitar Player Magazine poll for top classical guitarist and has been inducted into their Gallery of Greats.

About the Author
Just for a moment, close your eyes and picture yourself listening to a sweet melodic sound. Listen as the sownd changes into a myriad of gutsy, soulful riffs, slowly easing out into a journey of new imaginative heights. You now have a clear impression of a seasoned, multi-talented musician. His name is Bobby Joe Holman. Those who are fortunate enough to hear him play his harmonica or who jam with him will say "... here is a regular kind of guy who makes you feel good inside and out, every time you see him perform."
While in his early teens, Bobby Joe first heard Paul Butterfield play the blues on the harmonica, and from that moment on, he knew he was destined to play. He began with a $1.25 harmonica, trying to imitate everything that he heard. It took him a few years, but he finally got to the point where he began to play in clubs and at parties.
He has built a career centered around the harmonica - his performances have spanned to albums, CDs, commercials, documentaries and movies. He has performed with various bands from Louisiana to California. He has endorsements with Fender, Hohner Harmonica and C.A.D. Technologies (an astatic harmonica microphone company). He has a publishing agreement with the worldwide sheet music giant, Hal Leonard Corporation.
Bobby Joe has shared his love for the harmonica with countless students over the years, many of whom have gone on to perform. His instructional video Playing Nothin' but the Blues has just been released, and is the next step for the harmonica student who wants to learn how to play "The Blues on the Electric Harp." Bobby Joe brings fun into the classroom and truly believes anyone can learn to play the harmonica.

Believe it or not it is very difficult to talk about myself, but I do want to give you an idea of my experience and background. My name is Bobby Joe Holman, and I am 61 years old. I have been Playing and teaching the "Art of Playing the Harmonica" for 38 years. I sing, play guitar and have been a Professional/Studio Musician for over 35 years. I have experience in Music Composition, Arrangement and Production as well as being an Internationally Published Music author. I enjoy performing but my Passion is Sharing my Love for Music with people while Unlocking their Creative Talent!
