Am I wrong assuming that Don had a big influence on many other artists? Just heard some pieces of Antoine DuFour and Andy McKee, which reminds me a lot on what I'm seeing here.
Anyway - a great piece of music, thanks for sharing.
hi Don ,, after seeing you several times :vanc} you still blow me away ,, plus was nice to talk to you and michael,,:{my tewacher{ and loved the jam,, when and where is your next gig ,,,peace bro ,,,awsome ,,,,
Ah k very interesting thx. Did they do anything together in the past or why was this one dedicated. This tune certainly sounds a bit different to P. Fingers work. It carries me away..such a nice flow.
Also song will be released on the upcoming CD titled Not A Planet and it will be on a std baritone versus the low baritone as heard in this vid. Much nicer.
I've had the good fortune of sitting in Don Alder's living room and watching him play, for like, hours. He's nuts. You barely get a chance to catch your breath, and he's on to the next mind blowing string crunch. He's a man in constant motion. A guitar player's guitar player. It's not easy to understand this level of guitar playing mastery if you haven't actually attempted it yourself.
I build guitars because people like Don exist on Earth. Viva la Musica!
it will be on the new CD called Not A Planet for release by mid july which will include guests on some of the songs that include the drummer from K-OS and Michael Mannring bassist extrordinaire
I recently purchased Not a Planet and I have enjoyed it immensely. Your music is wonderful! Kudos to you sir!

Don did tour in 2005 with Peter Finger and are good friends so yes the song is more of a dedication.
