I'd like to put a couple of these pieces on WUTZ radio 88.3 Fm here in Summertown, TN. Let me know if that's cool with you, Johnny...
I like the contrasting voices on this one -- some of the effects/voices on this album are very psychedelic!
/Dramatic!/ Johnny, this is good stuff; its really great to hear your playing! Still hoping for another collab some day. :-)
wow Johnny, somewhere around two minutes in, this just comes together beautifully. Just gorgeous! I can imagine a harpsichord voice working well with this one.
