John Compton Allison (1954 - 2023). Father of three, competitive chess player, and classical guitar virtuoso. Despite teaching and performing in his earlier years as a resident of Essex, England, this album is the only full length recording that John made capturing his life-long passion for the guitar and classical music. Originally released as a self produced CD, the album features solo guitar arrangements of music from the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Recorded simply, in a one bedroom flat in Norwich, using a microphone from an old video camera and cheap recording software, and playing his pride and joy - a 1972 Masaru Kohno (No. 8) - these tunes are now being lovingly shared by his family in celebration of what would have been John's 69th birthday for all to enjoy. Happy birthday, Dad. We miss you!
