Absolutely fantastic...............unfort­unately it sounds like he has an audience of about 6 people and only 2 of them clapped. No worries he is in a league of his own. You should come to Sun Fest. in Canada ...............I'll be there to listen.

This is without a doubt one of the best musical performances I've seen in a long run! (and mind you, I've just seen Eric Clapton last week...). Been playing to this piece for 4 times now and it's just freakin toad-ally awesome! ~Julian

This guy is the best! I love that he does his pieces without looping the bass...all true two-handed technique. He's got a number of CD's out.
