To all those who think this is not really that good... This is something a person has to hear in real life to truly appreciate it... No audio codec can recreate the magic of an orchestra... nothing... not even a million dollar setup...
I truly appreciate what you have done not only for me, but for the generations of music players to come.Your work is, and will always be, an inspiration to millions aspiring to create something as beautiful as you have. I hope to one day be counted among the ranks of those such as you, and plan to work hard for as long as it takes to achieve that. Thank you once again.
Don, I really like this arrangement for Catherine is there a soundboard recording for this concert available for purchase somewhere?
I especially like the Steve Reich'esque style pulses used with the woodwinds and strings at some points. It's very poignant as I know he is a major influence for you compositionally, really such a phenomenal arrangement and performance.
The tune is a dedication to an aunt of mine who died a number of years ago. It's actually a Lowden O-10. I normally play a Beneteau these days, but I used this older guitar for the orchestral gigs because the shorter scale made it easier to play the Rodrigo concerto.
@gobyfishmusic This is wonderful, Don. I saw you play at the wild roots cafe in Nanaimo about 10 years ago. It's so amazing how your finger-style playing has taken off since then. Your right-hand technique has become really quite solid. Nice work.
@gobyfishmusic i remember u -playing this for me in your house in t.o. back in 89/90? wish my mom could afforded the lessons don, this song stuck wityh me ... got ya stumped dont I ? love yA man! never stop...... the world need your music.
@gobyfishmusic Best acoustic guitar player I've ever heard in my life! I love your music and your style so much I refuse to download it!!!! Only purchases here brother!!!
Works quite well with an orchestra

I miss Hugh Marsh's soaring solo, and David Pilche's bass, but that's just me. Nice piece of music, not crazy about the symphony

I think the orchestra completely killed the song. You can't beat Antoine & Tommys version, that one is just amazing.
