My father Manuel always played songs for me on the Classical Guitar but it
was Chet who I first heard playing more popular arrangements back in the mid
70's using complete arrangements for one guitar. This inspired me to arrange
simple tunes like Scarborough Fair, Greensleeves, El Paso, If I Were a Rich
Man etc. I wasn't able to meet him in person until 1995 when I finally made
it to the CAAS Festival and was introduced by either Mark Pritcher or Marcel
Dadi in his back room he goes to after his concert. I was very proud to meet
him and had our picture taken together. I look forward to playing the CAAS
Festival every year.
