The passing of New Hampshire guitar and mandolin player David Surette is a tremendous loss to the folk community in New England and beyond. He had the most elegant guitar style, and a way of fitting Celtic tunes to a six-string neck that made those tunes really live and breathe, as witness here on a couple of Breton dance tunes...
...and here on the O'Carolan tune Planxty Fanny Power, which has seen countless guitar arrangements in its time but none better than this one...
Our deepest condolences to his family and his friends.
