i regret to inform you that immediately after posting this message i was trying
to find more info on bromberg and learned that mr. fegy just passed away this
last month.

john henley (jhenley@mail.utexas.edu)
in addition to being a busy session mandolinist, fegy was also an accomplished
fingerstyle guitarist. an early 70s anthology of scott joplin pieces arranged
for guitar featured fegy on one piece; unfortunately i can't remember which
piece it was, but much of that material is presently available on a shanachie cd
titled "the entertainer."
i don't think fegy recorded many tracks like this, but he was as good as anyone
i've heard in this somewhat formal style of classic ragtime as done fingerstyle.
