A world class showman
Written by Jorge Agurcia Fasquelle Tuesday, 24 January 2012 13:40
I remember how my dad always used to tell me that anyone can grab a guitar and play it; but to do it in front of a bunch of people is another matter altogether. To hold an audience in sway and be able to get everyone within earshot dancing to a concert, and to be able to make the silence between songs enjoyable by telling anecdotes... that is something only a showman can do. I will never forget the first time I saw Guillermo Anderson, about 20 years ago, in the stadium in Tegus under the sun. In those early days he mostly stuck to social commentary and protest themes--after all it was the Eighties; to this day he refuses to play "Rey de la Rebusca"-- while sitting around-- a catchy song about a fellow not unlike the Artful Dodger in Dickens' memorable "Oliver Twist." He is without a doubt one of my favorite showmen! And his tireless work in the ecological and conservancy fronts are a great example for us all. Thank you Guillermo, you are one of the best Hondurans I have ever met.
