Philip, a senior at
Douglas Anderson, is second from left on the front row
Our nephew, Philip Logan, participated in the 14th annual Great Guitar Gathering last night. Along with 50 other students, the guitar orchestra played classical guitar arrangements of songs from the 18th & 19th century as well as two modern arrangements. "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" written by Johann Strauss was a "beautiful" arrangement for the guitar orchestra, very unique. One of the songs they played was called "Attic", a modern sounding piece written by one of the guest artists, Andrew York. Mr. York was a member of the LAGQ - Los Angeles Guitar Quartet for over 10 years. He is a composer of many songs that have been recorded by famous guitarists such as John Williams, Christopher Parkening, and Scott Tennant. I learned last night that Scott Tennant was also a member of the LAGQ. The other guest artist was Dusan Bogdanovic, born in Yugoslavia. He is an international award-winning guitarist-composer. As Philip would say many times last night, he was "amazing" (see the Florida tag below.) We ended the evening with a late dinner at "Friendly's" - late as in we finished our meal around midnight!
