Summary: A fascinating story by the great guitarist, Liona Boyd.
Review: My first interest in classical guitar followed our daughter's learning the ukulele, then the guitar at elementary school. When the local community center offered group guitar lessons by a talented local musician, I enrolled. As time went on we attended numerous classical guitar concerts by many well known guitarists. We also saw Liona Boyd on PBS in the early 1980's. Since that time, we have seen Liona perform many concerts, and had our albums signed by her. Liona's sensitive tonal interpretation of many popular guitar pieces and her unique music writing abilities place her eminently among her peers.

Liona's autobiography weaves a fascinating and wonderful history of her upbringing, adventures, and dedication to the mastery of her musical instrument, the classical guitar. Liona's book tells of her many interesting experiences, stories, adventures and travelogs as a solo female artist. We recommend this book about North America's foremost classical guitarist without reservation. The book is well written and includes many beautiful photographs of Liona, her family, and friends. We are proud to have it on our bookshelf. We look forward to future publications by Liona Boyd.

Summary: Fantastic Book to read!
Review: This book is a wonderful account of one of the most talented musicians alive! I have been a huge fan of Liona's music for many years and this book gives an in depth look into what this Classical Guitarist is really all about. She has been through so much growing up and it is great to know that she has met her dreams and continues to flourish in her field. I hope Liona will continue to write books, as this is more proof of what a talented lady she really is. The writing is as imaginative and inspiring as her music. Even if you're not a fan of her music or do not know her music, that should not keep you from reading this book. I can't wait for more!
