Brandon Bray was a young singer/composer from Manoa, Hawaii who rose to stardom through Ron Jacob's Home Grown series. He composed and copyrighted this song on which I had the honor to play guitar. Sorry for the scratchiness (from a 45 rpm).

This was the last piece from my college recital. As I recall, I had to walk off stage, pause, then walk back on. Talk about nerves! I was so happy when it was over.

1st Movement from Manuel Ponce's Sonata Mexicana. From my college junior recital around 1980. Another muff in the beginning but I settled down, thank heavens. I've seen folks get brain freeze which is disastrous. Sorry again for the tape hiss.

Another piece I did back around 1980 for my college junior recital. As I recall my father in law had an LP of Segovia doing this, so it was good to hear how he phrased it. I found the music in UH Sinclair Library.
