Toons ...

Tunes written a lot while travelling, an excellent way to focus the mind and waste months in the mountains in Asia "experimenting" :) They keep evolving and merging and I'm keen to get newer versions up than at present.

Tunes often played on Guilds acoustic guitars, which u need to work but u get the results.Theres a GF-47, mellow rich rosewood sound, it had a paper thin top, very responsive when quiet, so hard to record. There was a GF-37, an awesome but unruly maple topped thing with a solid carved back, the loudest guitar on earth. There was a maple topped L'arrivee which was on loan and gorgeous.

The classicals were what ever I could blag from the old shop I worked at, Ramirez mostly.

Steve Nutter recorded and mixed most of it, which he owes me for making me listen to every insane project he has done in the last 20 years.

Hats off to Alex De Grassi, Micheal Hedges, Bach, and the Himalayas for all being emmense.
