I thought you guys might enjoy a little bit of parlor classical on the Larrivee PV-03QM.

I like this. Not familiar with Justin Holland and I was reminded stylistically very much of the music of John Fahey.
Thanks for posting.

You're welcome. Thanks for your response.
You've got a good ear. Justin Holland's Spanish Fandango is one of the works that lays the groundwork for what would become Fahey's "American Primitive Guitar," along with Henry Worrall and a few others in the parlor era. Fahey was known to play the "Spanish Flang-Dang" of Libbeh Cotten, which is built on the structure of this piece but changed extensively as it was passed down by the rote tradition of Bluesmen. His "Spanish Two-Step" is quite similar too. I often play them together in a set when I perform live.
I like this as well. You are an awesome player.

Thanks! I have a few more Larrivee vids to post soon.
Please like, comment and subscribe. I'm facing lots of apathy and resistance out in YT world. :bgrin:
You're a fantastic player. Don't let YouTube be your yard stick for measuring your value. There's a whole real world out there that would love to see you play in person. :thumb

Yeah . . . I live in Dallas tho. All they seem to care about here are SRV imitators. I've played lots of gigs in the past, but just a couple since the pandemic started. Working on a solo album of originals to be released soon and lots of repertoire material.
Ah... I just got an image of the music scene in Dallas. :laughin:
Well good luck on the album!! I'm sure it's gonna be killer! :thumb

Yeah, there is literally no scene for acoustic music here - singer/songwriter has a a very small one, yet they don't seem to care for my attempts. There's a little bit of a scene for classical, but I'm in and out of that world on the fringes. As I dropped out of the Bachelor's program at SMU and switched majors over 2 decades ago, I've had litte support from the classical community which is nearly exclusively "sit down and play the traditional Spanish repertoire." It's also funny and strange that Deep Ellum is considered a birthing place for the acoustic-folk-blues, but all they want to listen to now is the pentatonic SRV stuff, hard rock/metal, and a bit of New Orleans jazz. Don't get me wrong I don't mind all that stuff, but I don't feel true to myself when I play it.
Anyway, that's why I need y'all likes and support out there in the forum world . . . :whistling:
