I was a huge fan of Dick Rosmini when I was really playing 12-string guitar and 5-string banjo back in the 60's. I met (and heard!) him when I performed at a festival in Riverside CA. Over the years I wore the grooves out on my LP of him on 12 String 6 String. I actually knocked on his door in LA a couple of times trying to catch him at home to badger him for lessons but, alas, never connected (just as well, I had no money <g>).

I recently ran across a German website that has clips from his albums. Be prepared to be blow away by his big-big instrumental sound! Take a listen to these pieces (the mp3 clips are best). Wow, I've got to get the mp3's of these albums somehow (the albums are all out of print I think).
