Globally acclaimed by critics and fans alike for his unique electric fingerstyle guitar playing, Adrian Legg masterfully blends diverse musical styles, influences and inspirations to create a distinctive sound all his own. With multiple awards and accolades spanning four decades, Legg has been heralded as a “guitarist of astonishing virtuosity, (whose) imagination and melodic invention seem unbounded,” (Q magazine); “ridiculously talented,” (Music Week) and “simply the best acoustic guitar player I’ve ever heard.”(guitar icon Joe Satriani). Setting the stage for his international success in the decades to follow, Legg was named as Acoustic Guitarist of the Decade by the UK’s Guitarist Magazine (1984-94), and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist in Guitar Player Magazine’s Readers’ Poll for four years in a row. (1993-96). But there’s even more to Adrian Legg’s draw as an engaging, one-of-a-kind performer. Described by Audio Magazine as a “kind of cross between Robert Fripp and Garrison Keillor,” Legg is more fully characterized as a “genuine entertainer who excels at not only painting pictures, if not frescoes, and telling stories with music— but also wittily regaling his audiences with tales from his life and travels and his cogent and often oblique yet thought-provoking observations on a spectrum of topics. It’s all part of his dedication to making his performances a full- blooded emotional experience.” This program is a workshop Adrian held for local guitarists in the GrassRoots Community Studio in Aspen, Colorado. It is also a great insight into the style, personality and technique of truly one of the world's great guitarists. Know Aspen. Watch GrassRoots.

Okay Next Gen, We're up! Lets see if we have the wisdom and talent to hit the Entrance to Aspen knuckleball that has befuddled two generations. This 2006 City of Aspen/GrassRoots production covers all the angles, decisions, indecisions, almost decisions, yeas and nays. Kudos to Ben and Corby on wrapping it all up in a pretty neat, easy to digest cup of HooBoy! We bet a straight shot that more research is needed, after a slightly confusing 50/50 advisory ballot vote. "Want to Know Aspen? Watch GrassRoots."

Hugh D. Wise III, with former Aspen Mayor Bill Sterling, discusses his fascinating World War I primary history, based on letters sent by a toy soldier to Hugh's father and grandmother from the front lines. Arriving in France in April 1918, Col. Hugh D. Wise, commander of the U.S. 61st Infantry Division, held a precious object. It was a toy soldier given to him by his six-year-old son, Hugh, Jr. The boy had asked the little lead soldier to write him with news of his father. The colonel saw action in two of the most important campaigns the Americans fought, St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne, and the little lead soldier dutifully assured a boy thousands of miles away that his father was safe: "The men had been shelled, gassed, and raked by machine guns constantly: and undergone several intense bombardments; and made a difficult though successful attack; and had resisted a fierce counter-attack. They had dug trenches, moved, and dug again. All this time they had been without shelter, exposed to a cold driving rain and without warm food--They were wet, chilled, and tired when called upon for even greater ef-forts but they responded with the energy and spirit of fresh troops." A treasured family heirloom, these wartime letters are presented for the first time along with letter from Colonel Wise to his wife, and engrossing historical context provided by his grandson, Hugh D. Wise, III. The Little Lead Soldier: World War I Letters from a Father to His Son is a remarkable story of how a father performed his dangerous duty while keeping a promise to his boy. Hugh D. Wise, III, graduated from Princeton University with honors in history and received a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He also served in the Peace Corps in Brazil, where he was guest lecturer in American history at Universidade do Brasil and Universidade Catolicado Rio de Janeiro. He is a trial attorney, residing in Aspen, Colorado. Bill Stirling is an enthusiastic skier, climber, hiker, tennis player, and golfer. He still introduces authors and leads book discussions for the new owners of Explore Booksellers, a cherished Aspen institution Bill owned for decades with his late wife, Katherine Thalberg.
