A LITTLE ABOUT THE SONGS AND HOW I CAME TO DO THIS C.D. :
One of the Cantu brothers (Xavier) from Saltillo, Mexico said that he would like to have a copy of my music for his enjoyment. I told him I was honored that he would even ask. That was one of the greatest compliments that he could have paid me, because he and his brother Eduardo are
two of the most accomplished guitarists I have ever heard, nearly on the level of John Williams,
Andres Segovia, and Michael Hedges, all of whom are known the world over as Top Notch Guitar Masters.Many people have begged me to record, but it took a master to spur me into it. I must
forewarn you, my style of music is completely self styled and bears no likeness to anything
you have ever heard before. It was also done in my living room. The sound came out well, very near to studio quality.      --- You will either love it or you will hate it. ---  Upon return from Mexico, I undertook the grueling task of recording, burning to cd, downloading to wav file on computer, processing the sound, filtering, equalizing, burning back to cd form, working on the label and cd front and back picture and print set-up. Meanwhile the time had to be taken to try to set up this web-page. What originally began as a two week project turned itself into a two month project. Every step of the way was hindered by faulty equipment, computer crashes, transferrence to disk problems and any other thing you could think of. So, I knew i was in the will of God. But, still I quit a thousand times- and returned to complete it just as many.. and here it is... for your enjoyment.
