I’ll never forget when I first heard Will Ackerman’s album “Passage.” It was Fall of 1982 and the moment I placed the needle on the grooves of this record, I was immediately drawn into it’s simplicity and beauty. At that time I had been playing the guitar since 1978 and I started to dream of one day recording an album as beautiful as “Passage.” I am still in pursuit of that dream. As a musician my focus is acoustic guitar, although I have recorded works that feature electric guitar and I may do so again, but for all intents and purposes... my heart and deepest passion is the wonder and beauty of an acoustic guitar. All it took was one listen of Will’s album “Passage” and my life was changed. Music can have such a profound effect on our lives. It’s the reason why I play! Read more on Last.fm.
