I urge anyone who enjoys classical guitar, or any kind of music for that matter, to have a listen:
Classical Guitarist Eliot Fisk | WBUR and NPR - On Point with Tom Ashbrook
The classical guitar -- and for that matter, the instrumental root of every head-banging Guitar Hero rocker -- goes back to the lute and Spanish vihuela. In the 18th century, the modern six-string guitar emerged for a heyday. It came back, classically, with Spanish great Andres Segovia in the 1920s. And half a century later, Segovia handed the tradition to a young Eliot Fisk. Now virtuoso in his own right, Fisk carries the torch for a musical tradition -- and a role for the guitar as exquisite cultural bridge. This hour, On Point: A conversation with classical guitar virtuoso Eliot Fisk.

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
The other is rather polite and 'classical'.
