Thanks for doing it." - Tony Barnard "This is a fantastic CD and I have played my copy many, many times. It is mastered very well and “flows” as an album should. It stands as an artistic statement in its own right. Your work on a professional “music production” level is a great success." - Martin Pleass "Hiro's
CD was the first one I listened to on the way home. It was a truly
wonderful experience. Thank you for making sure his music was preserved
and made available for folks like me to enjoy. I will draw inspiration
from it for years to come." - Jeff Pike "This cd is a precious treasure! Y’all did such a great job of honoring our dear Hiro-san, I tear up every time I listen. His music is a unique part of guitar history, and brings back wonderful memories we shared with such a special person and musician." - Drew Baldwin "This is a wonderful album. The cross-fertilization of traditional Japanese music and contemporary finger-style is absolutely beautiful." - Michael O'Brien "We love & treasure this CD & booklet." - Mary Pat & Tom Cook |
