The only thing that still worked was the good old flamenco guitar ....by candle light ...very relaxing ....
I love that, El Kiko. With all of our modern trappings--electronics, internet, E-mail, smart-phones, etc.--there is still nothing like the age-old pairing of an individual and his non-amplified, acoustic guitar, with no external devices necessary. To make music at the most basic level regardless of circumstances around you is a joy.
Cheers,
Bill

To add a bit of context to my previous comment, cited above, I was one of those who thought Bob Dylan "sold out" when he went electric back in 1966.
Cheers,
Bill

That string tight over a box. Slipped over it, with the nails edge pointing a transient. Releasing a bold, spreading wave that keeps the box, your diaphragm like the tips of your nerves waving as if polyps on a coral. Making you wonder for the millionth of time how a thing so humble can shake up to such relish. Whispering or booming, rasp or liquid, tender or sparkling.
Without even addons needed to have it perfectly sing.
All ready to go with just a string tight over that box.
Infinite complexity in sound born of a least components thinkable.
To me little heaven´s great magic.
