A big thanks to all of those who came to this year's Guitar Marathon. As we didn't include the repertoire in the printed program, we're providing details here. Be sure and check out the artists' websites and look for their commercial recordings on iTunes, Amazon, etc. The event was recorded and we may be making audio and video available though various outlets soon. . .
