Kin to the Wind (ePub)

A gifted virtuoso guitarist and composer, Moro first played (and wrote his first composition!) when he was six and performed his first of many concerts when he was twelve. For years he traveled the world as a troubadour, using only his guitar performances as currency. This talented former member of the world-famous New Christy Minstrels has played in over 50 countries-in royal palaces, African casbahs, and even on a British warship in trade for his passage across the Indian Ocean.

He followed that with an engagement at Howard Hughes' CABARET ROOM in Las Vegas where Mr. Hughes personally came to hear him. An Italian duchess who found him performing with a street-dancing flamenco troupe of gypsies in 1961 assisted him in obtaining a visa for Algeria where he then toured-during the violent Seven Years' War-and S.A.O. terrorists captured and held him. He played for them, literally for his life, whereupon they gave him money and let him go.

During his troubadour travels, he wrote many articles that were published in the KANSAS CITY STAR-TIMES, the NEW YORK TIMES' SANTA ROSA PRESS DEMOCRAT, and in the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR. He became the subject of an international media blitz, during the 1960's (when he was known as Buddy Bohn), and he was featured in TIME magazine.

He's won critical acclaim around the globe, not only for his mastery of the guitar but for his compositions as well, having won 30 consecutive
