If anyone would like to know more about Segovia's early years, just
contact Thomas Garcia (Miami University - OH). He has contributed to
the Lute Society journal for many years.

I just happen to own a copy of Segovia: an Autobiography of the
Years 1893-1920, translated by W.F. O'Brien (McMillan 1976). I may
be the only living person who does. Odd little book, full of all
sorts of descriptions of people's faces and clothes, and painfully
obvious as an attempt to bolster the Segovia Legend, which often
involves denigrating the contributions of other guitarists.
