Grondona plays it like a tight ass classical guitarist....compared to
this guy. Here's some schmaltz:

You are correct. Dilermando is a master of schmaltz!

Strangely enough, the next twenty guitar pieces I am studying were written
by Dilermando Reis, who was the most popular Brazilian guitarist according
to what I read.

What is this "schmaltx?" My understanding it is that substance that's
responsible for the Ashkenazi Jew's longevity. Does it also mean playing
in a formal and tightly wound manner?

It's Jewlicious but not necessarily kosher.

Well, slightly wounded manner, might be more to the point.

His Llobet/Tarrega CD recorded on a Torres instrument is simply delightful.
I got mine a few years back through the guit-Art publication ... http://www.gu...
I could not find the Grondona in the back issue section ....
I am not even sure if the publication is still alive and well ...
Anyone here subscribing to it?

I'm guessing that in this case "schmaltz" means "pretty corny?" Looks
like schmaltz is my new word for the day. :-)

You are right about this - he does look like he's in some pain. I don't
understand the custom of wearing a tight, noose-like device around one's
neck. How does something like that come about? It makes as much sense as
having a hat made of high explosives.

Hombre, no article of men's attire transmits more subtle psychological
and social messages than a tie, it goes back to the Romans. Granted,
in Hawaii is seems ridiculous to wear one but drop in any court house
and. . . well,there you go! I always thought it was funny the main
formalwear stores there were named "Black Tie Affair".

Subtle psychological and social messages is probably the reason I don't
get it. I steer clear of the courts if I can help it.

The guy I used to work for told me that he went to court dressed in a
suit and tie with his lawyer who was dressed in aloha attire for a minor
traffic violation. The cop that issued the ticket was asked to identify
my boss so naturally, he pointed out the lawyer. Ha ha case closed! I
love that guy - he's quite a character.

Honore de Balzac wrote a treatise named something like, The Art to
Wear a Necktie. I read an excellent article in Esquire, years ago, on
those subtle psychological and social messages. Important information
for an up-and-coming louche.

That's what Graham Greene called the “appalling strangeness of the
mercy of God.” :-)

P.S. Heard from Mike?
