What The Music Community is Saying

"Beautiful recording...I thoroughly enjoyed your CD." Paul Lolax, guitarist, teacher, guitar book author.

"Your CD makes wonderful background music. Very nice, pleasant listening. The sounds of the instruments are clear and beautiful. Your Craig Anderson guitar rings with deep bass and good treble sound. I very much like that you do unusual tunes. Da Slokit Light is one that I've thought of doing myself." Guitarist Steve Baughman Talltree Records.

"I am particularly impressed with your arrangements, which are accessible and let the tunes sing without sounding either stripped down or unduly gunked up with ornaments...The production sound, also, is lovely." Danny Carnahan, Celtic Musician and Record Producer

"It is very reminisent of the warmth that Will Ackerman has always gotten in his records. Your playing is very intimate and very ornate and flowing." Jim Goodin NYC guitarist and recording artist.


"Put on this disk, and cast your mind back to imagine Carolan playing for his patrons, with a flask of whiskey not too far away..". El McMeen guitarist and recording artist New Jersey

This CD of yours is WONDERFUL! You are definitely your own man here, but if comparisons were to be made, I would say that you remind me the most of El McMeen- with your emphasis on melody, pace and space. Just a great CD!
Jim Earp guitarist and recording artist San Diego
