The original photograph, from 1967, is of Calle de la Concep-
ción Jerónima, not far from Puerta del Sol in central Madrid.

The irst week I was in Madrid, as I was pleasantly lost in the
meandering streets of an old city, I stumbled upon a guitar
shop, and on a whim purchased their second cheapest guitar;
then I somehow found my way back to my room. I later wan-
dered the streets again, looking for that guitar shop, but was
unable to ind it. My room was temporary (I was staying for
a year) so I answered an ad in the newspaper, moved to a dif-
ferent part of the City, and forgot about the shop. Two months
after moving, standing on the balcony, I noticed there was
something strangely familiar about the view: on the street
below, directly across from my new apartment was the shop
where I had bought the guitar - - Jose Ramirez Guitars.

So here I present for your consideration, a view of the street
where I lived and some of the many details of that view.
