Recordings for purchase on CDBaby
Heart and Hands
This recording was born out of a recital I played that featured music from the 1960's. The songs that I love from Bacharach and Mancini had such beautiful melodies and peaceful vibes, that I wanted to turn it into a full length solo guitar recording of arrangements and a few originals. My nylon-string guitar matches the mellow mood of the tunes.
