Publisher's Synopsis
Beginning with his birth in 1893 Andres Segovia, the master of the classical guitar, recounts with warmth energy and affection how the first musical seed was cast in his soul with his uncle's singing, was nurtured by his meeting with a strolling flamenco player, and finally caught fire when he first heard the sound of what the flamenco players call 'a fine guitar'. Moving from Seville, Valencia, Granada, Madrid and Cordoba, from the salons and artists' cafes to the royal palace, and from the arms of his aunt and uncle into those of many mistresses.
