Just a few years ago, many years since ai began, I was thrilled to visit Segovia, Spain and I asked if it was in fact names after him. Several people I asked had never heard of him!

He was clearly showing the effects of aging. At one point he just stopped playing unexpectedly. After an extended delay, he was again able to continue. He seemed quite embarrassed, but the audience reaction was quite the opposite. He received a standing ovation for the performance and for all he had given to promote and teach the classic guitar over his lifetime.
