EXCEEDED our expectations for length, acoustics, ambience

"Both my wife and I enjoyed it
tremendously. More so than I thought I would. Wasn't sure how my wife
would like it but she really enjoyed it as well. Your doing something I
have always dreamed of doing but way too short on ability so I'll have
to keep dreaming. Your an excellent player with a strong voice. I have
listened closely to the lyrics of songs all my life. I listen for
lyrics that tell a story, make a point and basically make sense both
musically but conceptually. I have always thought Simon and Garfunkel to
have set the standard so I know I'm dating myself. Your lyrics don't
just rhyme for rhyming sake but convey an emotion, tell a story, etc. In
that sense you write some very good songs. Thanks for the opportunity.
We enjoyed your family as well. I can see from where the inspiration
comes."

"Me and my friends
Dave & Dave, really enjoyed the show. Dave & Dave both commented
that your performance was great and the song list was diverse and
very good. There were enough changes in the tempo and melody of the
show to keep it interesting. They both found your music interesting
rhythmically (no surprise that they noticed this, as they are the
rhythm section of our church band) and Dave G. found himself wanting
to play bass on a number of your songs, which is, I believe, a
compliment to your songwriting and guitar playing. You have a
playing style that makes it feel as if you are not playing alone.
There is always a good bass line, as well as melody and rhythm.
Very good. Great show and really enjoyed the CDs. Definitely let
me know when you will do this again."
