Review of Sally Gardens:

Hi Brian, thanks for the submission! I listened to your track and found it very interesting. I particularly liked this very delicate and lulling progression. The duet of the two guitars (beautiful the position so stereophonic!) conveys strong emotions. This is also thanks to a very airy and catchy theme where I also very much appreciated its melodic evolution. Excellent! On 29 February, I will include it in my playlist dedicated to peaceful music! A warm greeting!

I make music because 

I want to live in a world where everybody has enough; that no one should go without, that people have what they need, and music is something people need. I thank you for visiting, and I hope you find something worthwhile in my classical music.

Hi Brian. Thanks for sharing this track. While not technically perfect, it had me enjoying the track all the way to the end. You play with feeling that's for sure, and it sounds like a real person is playing to us rather than a machine. Well done!  Fermi's Jukebox, composer

Composed by Fernando Sor  (1778-1839), this is an interesting short piece where the thumb plays the weak  third beat in each measure of the first and third sections. In 6/8 time, the 1 and 4 beats  tend to dominate,  and here they are played by the index finger, as part of the melody.  This my most recent track release.

This album is mostly recorded at my home "studio" in Mount Rainier, MD, and half of the pieces are engineered by Steve Steckler at Asparagus Media Studios in Takoma Park, MD, but I need to raise money to bring it to the finish line, and that is what I am working on now. I plan to crowd fund this project through Kickstarter.
