I decided to see the other part of the Americas so I signed on with a crazy bunch of people, the Rio Infinito Orchestra. Not a high-budget group, but we did 28 concerts on the second longest river in South America. Photo 1 of 2.

One of the things you have to carry is a magnifying glass. This is a 10 power loupe. I had a really difficult time with tool sharpening until I pulled out my old loupe. It made all the difference in the world. If you can see a scratch on your tool with that magnifying glass, you need better stones. Peter Lang. At the Casa Antigua Nuñez museum. Photo 1 of 4.

At the Barrios Museum in Paraguay. A woodcut printer from Santa Cruz California, Melissa Wes, has done our logo. It shows that in our project we have the building of instruments, the composition of new music, the concerts, and the contemplation of the universe. When Segovia was alive the world center for guitar was Santiago De Compostela. Compostela is “the way of the stars,” so this is how people walk to Santiago De Compostela. Looking to the future we have the design of this guitar-shaped building to house all of this. That will probably never happen, but hey, anything’s possible.
