http://www.prestonreed.com/ Preston Reed learned guitar as a child on his father's guitar and had a short stint at classical guitar with a too-severe teacher. When he was 16 his interest was rekindled by Jorma Kaukonen's acoustic guitar-playing in Hot Tuna. He took the guitar again and began to compose his own songs in the style of Leo Kottke and John Fahey. His first public gig was at Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., in concert with Allen Ginsberg. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music
