Most of you have probably never heard of a Canadian band called Triumph. Their lead guitarist, Ric Emmet, is an extremely versatile artist.

Check out The Minstrel. Its a three-part song starting out on classic guitar, moving to bronze-string acoustic, and ending with a blow-the-walls-down electric session.

With a world-wide membership to draw on, I won't be surprised to see a posting about something we haven't heard on this continent. There's a lot of great music out there!
