Today on The Guitar Hour, Leon Atkinson hosted the South Hill Guitar Duo, who will be performing tonight (Thursday) at Gonzaga University. The duo includes classical guitarists James Reid and John Paul Shields. They played several selections in the studio and talked with Leon and Verne about the concert tonight, including how they switch lead from piece to piece, creating a truly equal partnership.
