She really has a fantastically beautiful ... Guitar,
but the shape of her nose is too!
For a worldwide competition for the best
to find guitarists, we would recommend Anabel Montesinos
and Margarita Escarpa into the race.
So much for the fact that Spanish women can't do classical music.
Can someone explain to us why pretty female musicians both on the
piano, like Yuja Wang, and Alexandra Whittignhamm on guitar, like many others
appear in dresses as if they were in an - albeit
- albeit upscale but still - semi-seedy nightclub?
That's about like Lang Lang performing in String Tangier.

ANABEL MONTESINOS
HomePage
She really has a fantastically beautiful ... Guitar,
but the shape of her nose is too!
For a worldwide competition for the best
to find guitarists, we would recommend Anabel Montesinos
and Margarita Escarpa into the race.
So much for the fact that Spanish women can't do classical music.
Can someone explain to us why pretty female musicians both on the
piano, like Yuja Wang, and Alexandra Whittignhamm on guitar, like many others
appear in dresses as if they were in an - albeit
- albeit upscale but still - semi-seedy nightclub?
That's about like Lang Lang performing in String Tangier.
We expressly apologize to Mr. Lang for the comparison, which was not seriously meant.

She really has a fantastically beautiful ... Guitar,
but the shape of her nose is too!
For a worldwide competition for the best
to find guitarists, we would recommend Anabel Montesinos
and Margarita Escarpa into the race.
So much for the fact that Spanish women can't do classical music.
Can someone explain to us why pretty female musicians both on the
piano, like Yuja Wang, and Alexandra Whittignhamm on guitar, like many others
appear in dresses as if they were in an - albeit
- albeit upscale but still - semi-seedy nightclub?
That's about like Lang Lang performing in String Tangier.
