Our friend Rory Hoffman will be in the March issue of "Guitar Player" magazine.

I'm going out at lunch to look for a copy. That's sort of the
"Mecca" publication for "pickers and grinner s".

Man, am I proud to know that kid! Don't know what's in the article, but it will be GREAT!

Russ (proud of my buddy) Lay

Just picked up the March issue of Guitar Player, and there, beginning on page 52, is a FOUR page article on our boy, Rory. One page is a full page photo, but the rest is a complimentary synopsis of his involvement in music, equipment and style.

One thing about Rory that is hard to describe is his ability to voice chords that no conventional guitar player can. Believe me, I've tried a time or two and almost injured myself.

This recognition is a "big deal" to us "pickers".

Couldn't happen to a nicer, more deserving guy.

I have no doubt that Rory could play ANY genre he chooses ... the 'Guitar Player' story is a well deserved honor ...

And I would LOVE to know if he was ever to appear in the Southern New England area ...

I ordered the March issue of Guitar Player .... OMG WOW a fantastic 3 page interview with Rory and a full page photo. Great interview with him. Rory is such an amazing guitarist it is overdue that a world class magazine like Guitar Player has given him the international exposure he has always deserved. I love his music and now I love reading his story in print. Congratulations Rory !!!!!!
