You probably never heard of Fernando Rio, but he was an instructor at our local shop. While he wasn't my instructor (he taught more classical styles) we'd chat for a bit whenever we ran into each other. He always had something positive to say. He also had a lot of neat stories, like working on a movie with John Wayne or something like that. Well, and of course you know where this is going, he passed this morning. Here's a clip to enjoy.

Glad someone recorded it, otherwise his particular sound would be gone forever.  Is it me or did he have extraordinarily long pinkies?
