My friend Christopher Hundley is a guitarist. He started out as Patrick's friend, and was the guitarist for Patrick's punk band, Magnolia Thunderpussy. He's an amazing guitarist, and a talented classical player too. We've done a little playing together at some teeny tiny little gigs (a wedding, a library luncheon) but it's been a few years. Recently we've been talking about playing again, and have scheduled a rehearsal/get-together for Sunday afternoon.
When I was searching around for the sheet music for Morceau de Concours by Faure, I saw that a version exists for flute and guitar. I found it at Carolyn Nussbaum. Since Chris is coming over this weekend, I called my local music store, Morey's Music, to see if it might be in stock and something I could pick up soon.
It turned out the guy I spoke to, Michael, is a guitarist who plays (quite a bit, judging by their website!) with a flutist here in Long Beach. Pretty cool. Morey's didn't have the piece I wanted, but Michael told me about a concert tomorrow night in Long Beach that I think Patrick and I will go check out.
(Funny: while Michael and I were talking, he asked if I'm a flutist or a guitarist. I said flutist. He asked who I play with, and I told him Chris's name. He said that he had heard of him. I wonder if they know each other from USC, or if Michael is an MTP fan?)
The performers are a flute and guitar duo from Scotland. I think they just call themselves "Flute & Guitar Duo"? Simple! Anyway, you can check them out here http://www.fluteguitarduo.com/.
The concert will be at St. Luke's Espicopal Church, which is located near the corner of 7th and Atlantic, in Long Beach. Tickets are $10. Maybe we'll see you there.
Oh, and I just ordered the Faure, but I think maybe tomorrow I'll see what else is going on, sheet music-wise, at Morey's. Now I'm curious.
