''Nice playing man. Just when I thought the track was getting a bit flat you picked it back up and ran with it. Liked the high end. Liked how you jammed a whole heap of notes into the end to give a real punchy feel.''
   --MoCheeks

Body Language Blues
''Good bluesy take. Liked your vibrato in the intro and the high end stuff came off well. The harp sounds one step removed from the bt -- that's a recording thing, I think. I liked the ending. ''

Take It Down A Little
''Playing well can be pretty tense. Like anything difficult. The harp doesn't transmit your brain signals - unfortunately, really. This one is very expressive with high energy. Would go down well in a live jam.''

''There was a terrific vibrato at 1:35, wish I could do that. Opening riff idea was very good, but not played with confidence. Still, your overall playing has really improved. High end work was first class!''

''Long time to be keeping everyone's interest but you held on to it. I think the high stuff was some of your sweetest and some of your not so sweet playing on this BT. Can't put a finger on it but I think your too worried about something. Let it flow!!''

''BAG, you mention tension - are you feeling that it is inhibiting your playing or helping it? Nothing wrong with building tension (and then releasing it) in your music, but don't let it hold you back within yourself.''
