The commentary along with the picture are sufficient to have me to leave my comfort zone and discover the courthouse Fiesta sight and sounds. Thank you.

The parking garage guitarist is Bruce Goldish.

Thank you JOJOFLYS. I checked out Bruce's website and will definitely be downloading some of his music onto my ipod. Really beautiful!

The delicate and nuanced Spanish guitar notes heard during Fiesta were played by local musician David West, who also runs the "Studio Z" recording studio on State Street. It was the idea of Bryan Mumford, who built the digital sound interface to the tower clock, to substitute guitar strings for the bells during Fiesta. He partnered with David West to come up with the perfect sounds. It was a challenge because the clock is made to play Westminster Chimes, which is a short tune composed of four notes played in different patterns. Only four individual guitar samples were allowed to play the fixed chime sequence, and yet change the character of the chime to that of an early California guitar piece.
