"Hello Zihuatanejo crew! That's great news about the funds that were raised. It's fantastic what you're doing. Thanks again for a marvellous time and an inspirational experience. It was one of the best festivals I've participated in, and definitely the best organized. A warm group of people to work with, play for, and meet - a real highlight."

Thanks! Mario

"Greetings and Hello from one of the 2006 guitarists! Our strength has returned, we've recovered from our illnesses and we've been able to reflect on what a wonderful and memorable time we had while we were with you. We have many fond memories of all of you that we will hold in our hearts for years to come.

"I want to say thank you for selecting me for the festival and giving us the opportunity to share life with you in that strange and wonderful place. We enjoyed ourselves and look forward to returning sometime in the future.

"Marjie and I enjoyed meeting all of you and hope we can stay in touch. We were also charmed by the other artists who were simply wonderful. There was a great fellowship among us all -- very enjoyable. And incredible talent -- I'm sure that those who attended the events were treated to some fabulous shows.

"Thanks again for having us. All the best to you!"

"The Z-Guitar Fest has so far been my greatest musical experience to date."

GuitarFest 2006 Musician

"I can't stop feeling that somehow I'm still at Zihua. The festival really seeps into your system and just keeps your imagination going! It is without doubt the best guitar festival I've ever participated in. You really get to meet and live the Fest with the other participants who do so many different things on the guitar. Thank you for blessing me with your invitation to participate a second time. It put a lot of pressure on me to do my best."

Juan Gaspar, GuitarFest 2005 and 2006 Musician

"Zihuatanejo reminds me how the Keys used to be. The people are great and the music and night life are awsome. The town is filled with some of the best guitarists on the planet! Everywhere you go there is amazing music.... These venues are the most beautiful I've ever seen..."
