This is music that can be played repeatedly whenever relaxing at home or creating a reflective mood. It is both undemanding of the listener but simultaneously replenishing in its depth of feeling. Peppino writes: "Michael's music comes from the heart...there's a sense of tranquility in his musical journey that is highly melodic." Playing acoustic guitar for most of his life, Michael has been influenced by many of the great guitar players, Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Alex De Grassi, among many others who can take one on a musical journey with only a single guitar and a beautiful composition. Nothing added, no frills, no overdubs. Mike Marshall writes: "Michael is keeping the legacy of the American steel string alive with this pristinely beautiful collection of solo originals."
