The evening promises an uplifting and nostalgic journey into shared musical memories of the past!

    Respected and admired by peers and fans for his playing finesse and prowess, Cyge’s compositions and arrangements show off his intricate approach to enticing what often sounds like multiple instruments out of his guitar. “For this special concert, I invite you to enjoy the ‘Fab Four’ performed on one guitar!” Cyge added.

    With a Beatles repertoire of over sixty of their songs, he comments, “The hardest part of putting this concert set together is deciding which gems to include! Re-experience The Beatles’ vast and varied music from the early hit, ‘I Saw Her Standing There’, to their later gems including ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’!”

    Cyge’s love affair with the acoustic guitar began about fifty years ago when he was barely old enough to handle a guitar. He first heard the likes of ‘Peter, Paul & Mary’ and the ‘Kingston Trio’ and that got his attention and fired his imagination. “I was only 13 when I discovered The Beatles and they forever changed my world. I decided, ‘That’s what I want to do!’”

    He has established himself in Sedona as a popular and respected instrumental fingerstyle guitarist with a large variety of Baby Boomer classic songs uniquely arranged for solo guitar. Although his focus over the past twenty-five years has been instrumental music, both as a soloist and in his guitar/flute duo with his wife, Lynn Trombetta as Meadowlark, his roots run deep in folk and acoustic music from his days in the vibrant Boston music scene of the 1980s.

    Cyge has twelve CDs to his credit, including many featuring his original compositions with ‘Meadowlark,’ and numerous projects as a sideman in the studio for various artists. In the last few years, Cyge recorded and released two self-produced solo fingerstyle guitar CDs, “GUITARtistry” and “GUITARtistry 2” featuring interpretations of “Baby Boomer Classics” with a few original compositions included. Cyge’s latest recording, “Rick Picks The Beatles” is an entire CD of his own arrangements of 35 songs by The Beatles. “This was an exciting project!  As I devoted my undivided attention to polishing and refining my versions of favorites, I felt like a kid in a candy store; so much extraordinary music to choose from!”

    With nostalgic bits shared along the way, this show offers a glimpse into that adventure! Cyge’s CDs will be available at the event. Visit www.rickcyge.com for additional information.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
