Featuring numbers with titles like “A light dry table wine”, “Gooseflesh”, “Bed and Desk”,<\/strong> and together with the overall title of the collection, you would be right in assuming that the pieces are lighthearterd duets, possibly inspired by student days together.<\/p>\n

Twelve Silly Songs For Twelve Silly Strings<\/strong>\u00a0is a collection of up-tempo, light-hearted jazz\/swing tunes<\/strong> written by Randall Avers and Rami Vamos.<\/p>\n

“Silly Songs is guitar music which has the rare quality of sounding wonderfully familiar,whimsical and totally unique simultaneously”<\/i>
\nBen Verdery, Yale School of Music<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is Bed and Desk<\/a>
\nand Cricket<\/a>\u00a0from the collection, which shows the essentially off beat humour and lightly worn musicality inherent in these pieces.<\/p>\n

\"\"Rami and Randy are both firmly established artists in their own right – Rami Vamos<\/a> <\/strong>is a \u00a0guitarist and composer of, amongst other things, fourteen children’s musicals and Randy Avers<\/a> <\/strong>is a virtuoso solo player as well as being a member of Les Freres Meduses<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I heard Benoit Albert and Randy play<\/a><\/strong> “A light dry table wine” in the shed and it brought the house down (luckily the roof isn’t all that high)
\nHere they are, playing the same number in Agen
