...whitewashed, thatch-roofed cabaret in St.-Maries-de-la-Mer, west of the French Riviera, the crowd sat in the smoky darkness one night last week as the guitarist strummed the gypsy rhythms that he had learned as a boy. The slight, intense performer did not like the feel of the crowd-"les marts," he contemptuously called them, "the dead ones." His playing was listless until midnight, when the dead ones left, and an enthusiastic group of flamenco appreciators-some gypsies among them-arrived from Aries. Then 29-year-old Ricard Baillardo (Manita de Plata, or Little Silver Hands...
...Nashville, Tenn., one of the local mills advertises a self-rising ingredient for flour and meal known as Hot Rize. For the past nine years, the fortunes of Hot Rize have been rising with a couple of hillbillies-Banjo Player Earl Scruggs and Guitarist Lester Flatt-whose musical style on Grand Ole Opry is uncannily like the gassy product they represent on the show.

And, thanks in large measure to the efforts of the twanging pair, bluegrass is enjoying...

A haunting, fantasy-ridden score by the composer of Tarn O'Shanter and The Bridge on the River Kwai that gives the guitar a chance to sing, emote, or simply brood, as it rarely can elsewhere. Britain's Bream knows the instrument's moods as surely as any guitarist now playing...
...stressing the pungent and appealing in Sandburg, he hails him for leaving "obscurantism to the esthetes." But it may be that what Sandburg is leaving to the esthetes is poetry itself. Aside from bits of writing that sound like Biblical commercials, Gorwin's commentary is serviceable. Helped by Guitarist Clark Allen and an opening night appearance by Sandburg himself-who received a standing ovation-the two stars offer a sound recital. Leif Erickson has the right vigor and directness, and if Bette Davis substitutes very high-styled authority for homespun warmth, this is probably all to the good...
