Details:
The all-original guitar music on this album was recorded in 1985, and released on a vinyl LP in 1986. My influences at that time ranged from the folk-blues-ragtime fingerpicking style popular during the ''guitar boom'' of the late 1960s and early 1970s--- to the New-Age-quasi-impressionistic style of a few years later. I had majored in classical guitar, and made what Andres Segovia called ''our noble instument'' a part of my innermost being-- and then worked in the woods and did evening gigs on the side. A bad on-the-job accident in 1982 allowed me to practice for a time on full disability, with no day job using up my time. By the time I ventured into a recording studio, I was ready for some determined digital fingerboard dancing. I put this album out as a vanity venture to place upon the cracked mantlepiece of unsung guitar heroes. But it got better reviews than I expected. It still surfaces twenty years later, still in vinyl, selling on a weakly basis to a few enclaves in cities back east (with me never leaving the lovely, rustic Northwest--my website works in ways even I don''t comprehend). So I recently had this album expertly remastered as a CD, to hopefully cross the present ears of music listeners, along with my other latter day recordings. Maybe I should work more of these pieces in again; my fingers could use the workout, and so could my mind; or at least I hope so.
