Ottmar Liebert Interview – 1997
Came across this 10 year old interview recently.

Wake up. Walk around. Find a bike shop and buy a dry Teflon lube for my electric guitar. The strat has a graphite nut and sometimes the strings stick a little to that nut and that creates an awful sound when I use the whammy. Reminds me of the sound of kicking an old spring reverb… When it happened last year Keith placed drops of lube on the nut, where each string runs over it, but it has worn off.
Afterwards I go to KRSH, Krush Radio – as in the crushing of grapes not the crushing sound of Heavy Metal. I play a couple of songs live and have a pleasant chat with the host. We used to call ’em DJs or Radio Jocks, but that seems like a long time ago and host might be better or maybe BOB?

Two Interviews with Tucson Newspapers.

2007 marks Ottmar Liebert’s 21st year living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. That is 20 years and 11 months longer than he ever expected to stay.
And…
Liebert will have his band, Luna Negra, with him when he takes the stage at the Rialto Wednesday night.
That’s true.
Guitarist’s improvisational tour starts on Tucson stage | www.tucsoncitizen.com ®
One guitar, one man. Soon, the Rialto Theatre will be filled with flamenco-melodic chords and occasional “finger noises.” Ottmar Liebert’s tour, based on the mostly improvised CD “One Guitar,” kicks off Wednesday in Tucson.
Not true.
My latest CD is One Guitar, which will arrive in stores in July thanks to Burnside Distribution. This upcoming Summer tour has close to nothing to do with that CD. I will play one of the pieces from the One Guitar album and for the rest of the evening I will perform with the quartet. We will do material from our 15 year catalog as well as some new and unreleased pieces which will be on my next band-album (whenever that’ll be finished…).
