Cello and Guitar

Filed under: Personal — Barry Carey at 9:01 pm on Saturday, February 23, 2008

As some of this blog’s readers might know, my son, Jeremy, is an excellent classical guitarist. He trained on this instrument during his undergraduate days at Florida State where, besides majoring in philosophy, he also minored in music. None of you probably know that I am a beginning cellist (strongly emphasizing beginner status). I’m taking lessons and would be further along if I could only find more time to practice.

Anyway, Jeremy alerted me to some beautiful music performed by cellist Zhao Jing and guitarist Yasuji Ohagi. It has inspired me to try to practice more so that someday (when I’m 85?) I will play amazing duets with my son. The video is found here. Other pieces by the pair are also found on the page.
