If you'd like one sent to you please post a comment and I'll email you a copy in PDF format. <b>MAKE SURE YOU TYPE YOUR EMAIL AS PART OF YOUR COMMENT; BLOGGER DOES NOT SEND ME A RETURN EMAIL ADDRESS.</b> Your comment will only be seen by me and will not post publicly; once I send you the list the comment will be permanently removed. You can choose an article off the list and a PDF copy will be emailed to you.<br /><br />There are two special articles I'd like to point out, the subject of both being the late, great <a href="http://www.classicjazzguitar.com/artists/artists_page.jsp?artist=24" target="_blank" title="Classic Jazz Guitarists- Joe Puma">Joe Puma</a>:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"Joe Puma: Actually A Wild Kitten", from March 31, 2007<br /><br />"The Jazz Guitar Of Joe Puma", from May 27, 2009</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WQX7nUUbN7E/S8n-ToVmNTI/AAAAAAAABNw/JsRQExd_P3c/s1600/njmh.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 194px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WQX7nUUbN7E/S8n-ToVmNTI/AAAAAAAABNw/JsRQExd_P3c/s400/njmh.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461175636362409266" border="0" /></a>I've listed these here because Joe was a close family friend and a wonderful musician who in my opinion doesn't get nearly the amount of recognition he deserves. I want this to come up when people search his name so you can have access to these articles. Post a comment as indicated above and it will be my pleasure to email them to you.<br /><br />About the picture on the right: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loren_Schoenberg" title="Loren Schoenberg" target="_blank">Loren Schoenberg</a> is the Executive Director of <a href="http://www.jazzmuseuminharlem.org/" title="The National Jazz Museum In Harlem" target="_blank">The National Jazz Museum In Harlem</a>. It's a wonderful organization that helps to preserve jazz through it's workshops, programs and jazz resources. Bassist <a href="http://www.christianmcbride.com/" target="_blank" title="Welcome to ChristianMcBride.com">Christian McBride</a> is the museum's Co-Director; check out the <a href="http://www.jazzmuseuminharlem.org/video_archive.php" title="The National Jazz Museum In Harlem Video Archive" target="_blank">"Video Archive"</a> page for a clip from Christian's wonderful interview with the legendary guitarist <a href="http://www.patmartino.com/" title="Pat Martino" target="_blank">Pat Martino</a>. I had the pleasure of visiting the museum in January, 2010; if you're planning a trip to NYC or live there I suggest you do the same.<br /><br />You may have arrived here through Mike Kremer's <a href="http://www.classicjazzguitar.com/" target="_blank" title="Classic Jazz Guitar">"Classic Jazz Guitar"</a> website. If you didn't, it's a great resource containing a wealth of information about the subject of jazz guitar and its practitioners.<br /><br />I started this blog in March of 2007 so it's been nearly three years. To all my readers I say thank you.<br /><br /><i><b>Al Quagliata, February 3, 2010 (updated February 28, 2011)</b></i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3770094031094310100-30652356471063013?l=jazzguitarcorner.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Al Quagliatahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263782786009068693noreply@blogger.com1
