Richard D. "Rico" Stover talks about Agustin Barrios
Interviewed by Tony Morris on Sunday May 9, 2010 in Paraguay.
The author of "Six Silver Moonbeams, The Life and Times of Agustin Barrios Mangore", Richard D. "Rico" Stover (1945-2019) was a friend and colleague who I dearly miss. Many days a month I walk around in my music store and say: "Rico, we miss you." Before I put this May 9, 2010 interview on my website, only 54 people had been aware it existed in the 2 years it had been available on Youtube.
He even references research I did, I purchased 8 Julio J. Otermin 10" 78 RPM discs, and pushing ahead I learned that these were recorded in 1912, 9 months before Agustin Barrios walked into the recording studio.
