..."It is not only exceptional for a 'first' album, but for a second, third, or.....any number. Simply excellent, beautiful, full tone, very good playing, adroit choice of material. Precisely what I thought you would sound like on a recording. You should be quite pleased with the completed CD..."

PICKIN' UP THE DUST
RECORD REVIEW

..."I always knew Al was a great talent. This recording substantiates my thought even further! As I listen to the tunes on the recording I am amazed with the finesse and dexterity that can only come from a long time player. Al's talent is unlimited AND the five tunes he wrote for the recording are all excellent. As you listen to the tune "Could I Have This Dance" you will experience the feeling that Al is most capable of expressing. The "Waltz Medley" also shows emotion. His fast picking and blocking is right up there with the best players! You must add this recording to your collection as "ONE OF THE BEST!"...
