Jerry and Betty Ford buy season tickets, but they are used by his half brothers, Jim, an optometrist, and Richard, who works as manager for the Ford Paint and Varnish Co., which the Ford family sold to Standard Detroit Paint...
Angel Romero: Classical Virtuoso Masterworks for Guitar (Angel; $6.98); Spanish Virtuoso Romantic Music for Guitar (Angel; $6.98). At 29, Romero belongs to the new generation of guitar virtuosos. But the Spanish-born musician is no stranger to the concert hall; along with Brothers Celin and Pepe, Angel has been appearing with Papa Celedonio Romero's family quartet since he was six. Angel's Spanish guitar music vibrates with the heroic digital work and high coloration associated with the repertory. He peels off Tarrega's Chopinesque Estudio Brillante in a fiery burst of romanticism. He can be soft...
