11/26/02 - Turtles Music on Gunbarrel Road to carry Turning Point!
The Turtles music store on Gunbarrel road in Chattanooga expects to have stock of Turning Point by Friday afternoon, the day after Thanksgiving. Turning Point is also available by clicking the Order CD link on the left side of the page.
11/25/02 - My new CD “Turning Point” will be here this week!
The factory is scheduled to complete the pressings by Thanksgiving and those of you who have pre-ordered “Face the Strings” should receive your new CD around the first week of December. The original name “Face the Strings,” has changed to “Turning Point,” which better reflects the range of music on the CD as well as my own desire to expand the range of the hammer dulcimer itself.
Check out the music link to the left for a sample of every cut on “Turning Point,” as well as samples from my first CD “Questions in the Calm.”
11/18/02 - Touring Information
My other piece of exciting news is that I’m going to be touring with Yanni as a featured performer and core band member in 2003. The national tour begins March 1, but the official concert schedule has not been released yet, so I’d better not say more than I should. Yanni feels this is going to be his best show ever with an unbelievable band of returning favorite players as well as new performers that he’s discovered. I’m very appreciative to Yanni for giving me this opportunity. I’ll update this site often with new info including the story of how my audition came to be. The year 2003 looks to be an exciting one!
