Ed Gerhard @ the 2004 NYGF Guitar Marathon

Ed Gerhard performing his arrangement of Rye Whiskey on a Weissenborn style guitar. From the New York Guitar Festival's second biennial Guitar Marathon at the 92nd Street Y's Kaufman Auditorium, January 25, 2004. Ed's musical inspirations range from Andres Segovia to Mississippi John Hurt. Scott Alarik of the Boston Globe said it best when he wrote "Gerhard does not write instrumentals. He writes songs only a guitar can sing." #Weissenborn #LapSteel #SlideGuitar
