Orlando, the guitar maker
Saturday, October 11, 2003
After checking into our rooms, we set out to meet Orlando, a guitar maker. He showed us his work, including an unbelievable home-made machine that spun guitar strings, powered by a washing machine motor. What amazing ingenuity! We talked music, drank rum and coffee and made music. How I wish I played a more portable instrument!

Orlando schools us on the "habanera" bass and sings this beautiful bolero. |

Singing "La Casa de la Rosa," this is Orlando at his best. You can hear that we're all enjoying ourselves! |
