The Ventura County Classical Guitar Society (VCCGS.com) had its May 2010 meeting on the 26th.  See the VCCGS link for more information about our meetings, the location, and directions.


Some words of thanks:  The Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District has provided our venue - without charge - for many years, and we thank them for their support!  We could not operate without it. Similarly, our web site space is provided without charge by ISWest.  Thank you to both organizations.


Our guests for the evening were Taso Comanescu and Austin Grant.  They are graduates of guitar program at Pepperdine University.  They performed for us as The Gi-tahr Duo.  This was their first visit to VCCGS, and they presented a great program.
