of that nickname, Petit Fré. He happened to be my father
I split myself in two guitar players for this piece
6-Stance pour une chasse d’eau
You can tune your guitar in a different way
and each time it's a new musical landscape
That's what I have done for this piece

but I really don't know why I have choosen this title
( stance for a medieval flush)

Leo Kottke play the 12 string guitar
I thought I heard an entire band
