Classical Guitar Virtuoso David TempleToday I was joined in the studio by classical guitar virtuoso David Temple. David performed a diverse selection of live tunes ranging from the King of Baroque (really the father of all modern western music) Johann Sebastian Bach to the great bossa nova tradition of Brazil with tunes like Manha de Carnival by Luiz Bonfa. There is as much to be said about David's technical expertise as there is to be said about his musicality. From the slower more contemplative movements delivering a sound likened to Segovia and his student Christopher Parkening, to the more fiery technical selections reminding one of John Williams, David Temple shines with a brilliance surpassing most brave enough to pick up this solo concert instrument and attempt to master it.

David Temple: A guitar romanceAs someone who has studied the classical guitar with one of the worlds premier classical guitarists I have a keen ear and great appreciation for David's abilities and accomplishments and regard David as a premier guitarist on the East Coast, in the US and in the World. His three CD's are not only ideal for listening no matter what the mood - as he offers a diverse selection to carry the listener through all moods and emotions - they make great purchases (remember, Holidays come at all times of the year)

The Funadmentalist MindI began the program with Part Two of an interview conducted with psychologist Dr. Stephen Larsen on his outstanding and critical work for our time, "The Fundamentalist Mind: How Polarized Thinking Imperils Us All." Dr. Larsen lays it on the line - from the physiological basis for our perceptions, actions and reactions to environmental and archetypal stimuli to the foundations for world religions locked in the mythogems which dominate the perceptions an actions of entire groups and cultures, this book is an essential part of anyone's intellectual diet who seeks a better understanding of their own behavior and how it will ultimately interact with the characters on the world stage. That is to say, any politician, historian, legal expert, historian, psychologist, therapist, healer, and, well just about everyone should read this book. That's why I interviewed him, you know. So you would realize the importance of this work and go purchase it and pass it on to the next person when you are done reading it.
