What gets me is going from Steven to "Esteban", the Bolero hat and sun glasses, and his attempts to associate himself to Segovia. (There was a good article on "Esteban" some time back I can't find now describing his history. Basically, he was a Segovia "stalker" who kept sending Segovia letters asking Segovia to allow him to come study with him. Finally, he just showed up on Segovias doorstep when he was touring the US. Segovia immediately recoginized the name, allowed him to sit down and play for a while, made some polite comments (which, if he was teaching you, was generally NOT his style from what I have heard from folks who did interact with him
) and said good bye. ) Did Segovia call him "Esteban"? I'm sure he did, as that is Spanish for "Steven".
Did he endorse him? No way.
