Details:
Along with audio engineering and producing, I have been writing songs ever since I can remember. I began playing guitar as a child, and have plucked away at it off and on at varying levels of intensity ever since.

In the past 10 or so years, in addition to focusing on developing my studio I have been focused studying acoustic guitars--differing brands, different woods utilized in construction, and the incredibly diverse range in tonality based on these and other variables.

Consequently, while writing and recording compositions for my new CD "Pilgrim Song", I have also developed a respectable acoustic guitar collection as part of that study. Check out my website for lots of info on high end acoustic guitars, along with audio clip tonal comparisons of different guitars and woods used in each. Pilgrim Song is an acoustic instrumental journey demonstrating the variety of some of these different guitars.

As most acoustic musicians know, each instrument played can evoke differing responses and creativity in the player--at least that has been my experience. I find the whole thing musically inspiring, uplifting, and downright intriguing.

I am thankful to God for His hand in making all this possible, and hope that any gift He has given me in the area of music and audio engineering would bring glory and honor to His Name.

Unlike other CDs I have recorded or produced, Pilgrim Song consists primarily of acoustic instrumental guitar music.
The compositions are original, varied in style, and have been born out of my own personal struggles, victories, and search for solace in recent years.

Additional instrumentation from percussion instruments, bass, mandolin and drums is added on many of the tracks as well. A few songs such as "Twilight Serenade" nicely meld in original wildlife recordings in the background.

It is my hope that you will find Pilgrim Song relaxing, inspirational, and soothing to the soul. With September 2001's atrocious attacks on our country, and a seemingly helpless feeling that so many of us experienced at that time, I felt that one small way I could help out is to commit all proceeds from this CD to help provide relief for families and victims of the attacks.

That has clearly become an additional purpose for this CD.
