* #2 - "LONG TIME COMING" (2014) - Proud of this one!  It was a VERY long time coming, with various challenges. You'll hear a few different musical styles on this one.  With deft sound-shaping by co-producer Bret Levick, the songs were brought to life pretty close to what I could hear in my head... and then some!  The album features performances by many fantastic musicians from here in Southern Oregon, with a mix of full-band tunes and mellow acoustic stuff
