Concert Guitarist Morris Mizrahi was my friend at college who loved playing magnificent music to shouts of "Bravo" and "Encore". We also shared a passion for Oribe concert guitars (see the Oribe Fandango video). We didn't even greet each other, no matter where we were, we would whip out our guitars and share the latest projects. It was a heady time of enormous advancement, four great years at Cal-Arts. A few years after we graduated, I didn't hear from him for a long time and I recently found out that he doesn't exist anymore, that is a sad loss for all the people who should have heard this wonderful concert guitarist. Morrie was a Flamenco guitarist when we first arrived at College, and I was more of a Chet Atkins style picker, so I start this composition off with innocence that run's head on into those exotic Flamenco scales, raqueado's and bold dissonances that I first heard from his guitar and then toss in little cameo's of some of the songs we were working on by Bach, Tansman and some of the music that influenced us at the time, like Samba's and the movie score for 2001 Space Odyssey. We had a great time discussing Brahms, Schuman, string quartets, Oribes, the Beatles and our passion for playing music, but mostly we traded songs back and forth. So this composition is for my friend, Concert Guitarist Morris Mizrahi, you should have heard him play. Byron
