THE
VERY TOP OF THE TREE |
|
| CD - Instrumental Hammered Dulcimer - $15 | ||
| I guess we always like our most recent recording the best, the THE VERY TOP OF THE TREE is no exception for me. In this I reached new heights of technical quality working with Grammy winning recording engineer Tom Wasinger and state of the art mastering and mixing geniuses of Airshow Mastering. I'm sold on this level of professionalism in the technical department. Oh yes, and the music, the new CD contains all my current favorite music for various musical genres - some traditional Celtic and American tunes, some tunes written about my experiences in the wilderness, some tunes written by friends, and a few of my favorite Latin American repertoire. I think you'll find it varied and interesting! | ||

CELTIC CARIBE |
 |

| CD, $15 | ||
| A 1988 trip to
Central America fostered a musical exchange between one of the world's
most melodically sophisticated musical genres, Celtic music, and one
of the world seats of rhythm, the Caribbean. Caribe is the name of
the Native American tribe for which the Caribbean region and this recording
are named. This CD mixes soulful Celtic songs and hot Caribbean rhythms

and synthesizer.

Each teacher chose a track to donate to the CD to support the purchase of a new building for Swallow Hill, and the result (besides a new building) is a stunning collection of some of the greats of the Colorado contemporary acoustic music scene, including Bonnie Carol, Mary Flower, Vicki Taylor, Ron Jones, Celeste Krenz, Harry Tuft, Carla Sciaky, Willie Jaeger, Liz Masterson and Sean Blackburn, and another dozen or so. | ||
