… a few precious seconds of a concert, shot with a VHS video camera. Not the quality of today’s DVDs, but the emotion is there indelibly for ever.

I have always kept to myself the deep links that made us close friends. Marcel was very emotional and he lacked self-confidence. In his downs he would call me 4 or 5 times in the week.

…in a concert he was like magic. Many people thought and said that Marcel hid his anxiety behind his smile. For all I played with Marcel, let me tell you that this is absolutely wrong. He was really “having a ball”!!!

Marcel’s famous Adamas, autographed by Chet Atkins, in the hands of a left-handed guitarist. Me! Funny, hey?
