Ambience, Antiquite and Other Love Songs: In the past few years I've found myself doing more and more solo gigs and have wanted a record that would represent that music. The idea for this record was spearheaded after a solo concert at Antiquite Maison Privee in Sacramento in November of 2010. That set was recorded live to a 4 track reel-to-reel by Bryce Gonzales and is featured here. The other songs are a mix of electric and acoustic guitars, mbira, lap steel, bass guitar, drum machines and electronics. More importantly is that while the songs are instrumental, they are all themes to significant pieces of my life. All of the music presented here is like a time capsule in the same way a photograph or journal would be. This collection of music is intended to set moods, tell stories and provide an audio landscape for the joys, losses, humor and romances that life brings. Thanks very much for listening. Thanks to Bryce Gonzales for recording and mastering, to Jesse Vasquez for the photos and to Lawrence Dinkins for the artwork and layout. Special thanks to my two lovely ladies for their love and support. This record is dedicated to my daughter Lola.
