Amos, until now I thought I'd read everything written in the 70's, but the closest I got to that was John Barthe's book with the mobius strip story. Lost in the Funhouse.

I also remember the Villa-Lobos 7 thing--the cascading arppegs Em B7 etc? That one?-- and there was something people did with the rythm to make it more interesting. I never got the hang of it.

It's odd, but I know another player who learned Wildwood Flower, then was challenged by his mother to transpose it. Don't know if his mom liked Tal Farlow, but he owned everything Farlow recorded. It's a small-bodied guitar world.
