Among God's creatures two, the dog and the guitar, have taken all the sizes and all the shapes, in order not be separated from the man.
~ Andrés Segovia
Andrés Segovia (1893-1987) is the father of the twentieth century’s classical guitar renaissance. Indeed, his efforts can to still be felt in the nearly two decades (as of this writing) since his death. Without his untiring work to promote the instrument through his ambassadorship of the guitar, it would still be considered a folk instrument.
