Description
Windham Hill 11113 ▪ Released 1992
"Ever since I heard Bet Jansch's album Luck Thirteen, I wanted to be a guitar player. But, life in the suburbs and well meaning members of my family tried to steer me towards
college and a more practical career. About the time I graduated from university with a degree in geography (oh that sounds practical), my first album, Turning: Turning Back, came out.
My career was born. I could use my college education to find places on the map, go there, and play my guitar. The first years of being a recording artist passed in ignorant bliss.
I was succeeding with almost no formal musical training, and I didn't have a clue about how the music business works. I tuned the guitar funny and didn't even think about what notes
I was playing. It was a great place to be. Since those days I've become painfully aware of what I don't know. Now I'm a student of music. Learning is discovering how little you
know. I feel like I'm starting all over again every day." ~ Alex de Grassi
