"For a musician whose appeal seems to be an even, responsible, enlightened serenity -- don't-wake-the-baby music -- he was nice and forceful, just alone with his instrument, his voice dry and his guitar laden with echo. Nylon-string guitars often produce a rounded sound, but with his economical, decisive, percussive strikes he made a sound like an ax splitting a log."
