Reviews
“Well worth the wait… showcases Dan’s clear and precise dulcimer and guitar playing along with his superb vocals. Above all, I am gobsmacked by Dan’s amazing ability to provide such compelling and lyrical dulcimer accompaniments to his singing. You’ll note that I am very partial to the vocals but I’m betting you’ll love it all
” —Neal Walters
“Even before I played the disc was enormously impressed by the presentation – it is a very professional piece of work indeed. Gentle music to play with the back door open to the garden, the kettle and toast on, all well with the world.
” —Grahame Hood
