Dear Michael

only today I have noticed your comment to me on Nicolai Foss’ blog. Thank you for your appreciation and my compliments for your excellent website. I have recently started a little blog where I add now and then some pieces of guitar music (or videos) that I like. My playing of Kress’ ‘Sutton Mutton’ was based on the tune as it was recorded by him, even if I changed here and there some notes of the sheet music version because they were differing from the recording. I’d be happy to give my collaboration to your website or any other idea you have. Just let me know, I’ll be glad to hear from you.
Thank you again!
Best regards
Michele Ariodante
