I was glad to contribute to this project. I don't normally play solo pieces, but I wanted to play something with a real Americana feel to it, particularly as it related to my childhood in NJ. My pieces are pretty much spontaneous compositions, after 2 or 3 takes.

So, that said, I'm reprezentin' the good ol' USofA.

PS--now that I don't own an acoustic steel guitar, I had to record with my Seagull with a nut raiser. Not quite the same, in many ways....

Hey guys,

Very deep, very grand, very honest. The best stuff to arrive on the net in a long time. Hats off to all of you on this record. Nothing is missing.

This album sets a new bar for integrity, listenability, concept, gusto, and performance. You've done well!!! Can't wait for volume's 2, 3, 4, 5...

See you on the strings,
E. Ebner
