| About the Series | |
|
The Troubadour Series at Wofford is named after Carl Sandburg, who was called "the Old Troubadour" by Frank Lloyd Wright. Sandberg's home is located in Flat Rock. He visited the Wofford campus on more than one occasion. He was an avid guitarist who wrote several poems inspired by the guitar and gutarists. On his deathbed in 1967, he requested one of the Segovia recordings he had listened to since the 1930s. For more information about Sandburg and Segovia, click here. |
