My holiday gift is here, under the palm tree, free for the taking. What do I like about it? Well, this mystery artist is justifiably reputed to be one of the <strong>greatest acoustic guitar players<\/strong> of the 20th century, but here he lets it all hang out with a touching, heartfelt, but downright ragged vocal performance. Telling you the name of the song would tip my hand on the mystery artist&#8217;s identity, but I&#8217;ll just tell you his wistful, earnest singing perfectly matches the lyric. I have an <strong>additional challenge<\/strong> for you: I&#8217;m currently in a nation next-door to this artist&#8217;s home &#8212; actually, the nation where this performer spent his formative years training with a classical guitar master before he struck out in his own revolutionary musical direction.  <em>What nation is that?<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>Your fellow Townsman and pal 4ever,<br \/>\nHVB<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>En route to an exotic, mysterious location, Townsman HVB asked that I post the following gift of music.
