I hope you enjoy the various musical styles on this CD. There’s some jazz, a few classical outings - including the monster Carulli duet, an Irish traditional, some Country, my take on a Rock Classic and a couple of Django-esque offerings. The common denominator is the nylon-strung guitar and that’s what this CD is all about.

My grateful thanks are owed to Brian Carter who played on tracks 4 &11, Calvin Beedle - my duettist on track 15 and Jim Riley for his patience, skill and grace during the recording in August 2006.
