| No posting from me for awhile Take some nice clothes for Milano. Best dressed city in the world. Check out Bergamo for food and lodging. | |
| CD's for auditioning The most difficult to reproduce correctly are female vocals and acoustic piano. Take good recordings of these along and find out how many pieces of equipment are embarrassed. Diana Krall recordings cover both of these aspects. | |

| Looking for an acoustic guitar recording.. Pierre Bensusan. Excellent French guitarist with mostly very good recordings, material. Acoustic with steel strings. | |
