Musicians are a superstitious lot: from pre-show motorcycle rides to post-show dismantling of roasted turkeys recalls, to backstage rituals involving a small dog, musicians will go far inorder to guarantee a good performance. Today on Soundcheck, we'll hear about the power of superstition backstage and we'll take your calls on some of your performance-related superstitions. And, it's the 450th anniversary of the Spanish guitar. Two young guitarists, Dominic Frasca and Gyan Riley, have written new works based on traditional Spanish themes. They'll perform live in the studio.
