Details:
"One day in 1994 I was looking for solo guitar arrangements of love songs to teach my guitar students, but I discovered that there were none on the market that met my needs.
To remedy this situation, I put together some samples of my own and sent them to Mel Bay Publications. To my delight the idea was accepted and I began work on my first book, "American Love Songs and Ballads". I had received my formal training in jazz and classical music, so was pleasantly surprised to find myself developing a repertoire of traditional American music. Within five years, I had completed seven book/CD sets for Mel Bay. The wonderful (yet unplanned) result was that through this process I had developed an interesting and entertaining “Americana” concert program. This is how the "American Sampler" was born. The music is most enjoyable to perform, and I hope you enjoy listening to it."
