Dick Rosmini (1936 - September 9, 1995) was an American guitarist, at one time considered the best 12-string guitarist in the world. He is best-remembered for his role in the American "folk revival" of the 1960s.
Rosmini's 1964 album "Adventures for 12 string, 6 string, and banjo", predates much of John Fahey and Leo Kottke and other guitarists. He featured as a sideman on numerous folk albums, including Bob Gibson, Eric Weissberg, Dave Van Ronk and others before leaving music to pursue a career in photography.
Albums:
1964: Adventures for 12-String, 6-String and Banjo (Elektra)
