  • ESTEBAN, WITH TERESA JOY (aka STEVE AND HIS DAUGHTER) ... SIMPLY FABULOUS! OK, so last night (1/12/13) we went to the Las Vegas Hotel (formerly the LV Hilton) to see Estaban, someone we had barely heard of and only fleetingly seen years ago in some goofy infomercials for videotaped guitar lessons, complete with a "man in black" Johnny Cash-esque outfit. He was accompanied by some violinist named Teresa Joy, whom we had never heard of. We went with high hopes, but somewhat lowered expectations, due to lack of familiarity. OMG!!! What a show! Estaban (born Stephen Paul, in Pittsburg, PA) and his daughter, Teresa, were incredible! Through unshakeable persistence in the early 70's, Steve had become a masters class student of Andres Segovia in Spain, who called him by his Spanish name, Estaban (later came the trademark ponytail, black hat, black outfit, dark shades). After years of study he was personally endorsed by Segovia, and began touring back in the States. Tragically, in 1979 he was badly maimed in a car wreck caused by a drunk driver, losing sight in one eye, and the use of his left arm and hand. He was incapable of playing, but after a decade of struggle was able to rehabilitate himself and learn to play once again. Today he plays with such speed, power, passion and virtuosity that you'd never imagine that he had been so badly injured. He's a towering testament to tenacity. He packed his performance with music from a number of genres, from classical, pop, Middle Eastern, gypsy and flamenco, to rock and roll. It was 75 minutes of non-stop, high energy, very heartfelt music, including a touching rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star that was a big hit. His triple-tune finale was fabulous (two Beatles tunes and his trademark Del Shannon, Runaway) had us all clapping, cheering, stomping, whistling and howling for more. We met Estaban and Teresa after the show, bought a couple of CDs, and enjoyed a brief chat as he happily signed a photo and both CDs. He's the "real deal," genuinely enjoying sharing his music with others and interacting with fans. Which we both now are, in spades! Dean Herrington
