What people are saying:
I have taken this Sunday morning to sit and go through your wonderful book. The quotes are so uplifting and astounding. As I read the quote from Schweitzer – about when the light goes out and is rekindled by another person I thought of you. You have given me that spark. I know I am old and past physical means to spark but I will share your spark in my way as life moves on.
Thank you so much for your art, talent, and this wonderful book.

“… tastefully done. As you know, a picture is often worth a thousand words, but many of the brief quotes in the book are also worth a thousand words. In some ways, each page is a new world.”

I love this photo!
Besides being a fantastic flamenco guitarist, Chris Burton Jácome happens to be a talented singer. I just assume most people know this about him. Also in the background is another great talent, Sal Gallegos, who sang the introduction to my piece.
