Do you have a favorite collection, or one that you're particularly proud of?

I'm happy with how my Dowland transcriptions have become the standard
edition for that particular repertoire. I've had contact with people
from all over the world about these transcriptions.

What was the most difficult collection to put together?

I think my American Folksong book was the most difficult to bring to
fruition. At first, it was difficult to embrace the idea of bringing
together the classical guitar with the world of American Folksong. Now
I love the idea creating a hybrid repertoire. I believe Lou Harrison
once said that one shouldn't underrate hybrid music, because that's
all there is!

As you've put together your editions, have you made any unexpected discoveries?

I feel like I'm constantly finding new or forgotten repertoire. When I
was working on "Easy Classics for Guitar" I found several interesting
pieces that had been out of print for decades thanks to Donald
Sauter's research at the Library of Congress.

Do you have any plans to expand Kithara?

We'd like to begin publishing recordings as well but that won't be for
a little while yet.

What can we expect in the future from Kithara?

Now I'm working on a book of arrangements for the electric guitar.
It's due out in Feb. 2007. I haven't been this excited about a book
for a long time!
