    I was always a fan of his music.

    https://metro.co.uk/2020/08/14/grammy-award-winning-guitarist-julian-bream-dies-aged-87-13128553/

    Posted on its website, a statement read: ‘We are very sad to report that Julian Bream CBE (b. 1933), English classical guitarist and lutenist, died peacefully at home today, 14 August 2020.’

    Bream was among the most distinguished classical guitarists of the 20th century and worked with some of the period’s best-known musicians and composers, while his recordings won him four Grammy Awards.

    he musician was born in Battersea, but raised in Hampton, and his father was a commercial artist who enjoyed playing the piano and guitar.

    It was said the work of Romani-French jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt impressed him as a child and he would later name his dog Django.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Love that piece. I have a recording of Paul Galbraith playing it on his 8 string guitar that he holds like a cello.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.
