"Well done lullabies on a well played guitar." John Wood - 2005 NAPPA Honors Award

Alan creates sterling lullabies filled with warmth, richness and eloquence. Yes, I did say eloquence. Few musicians have the prowess to allow their instruments to speak, but Alan’s guitar speaks volumes, and the words it utters are angelic, indeed. On Under The Bed, Alan’s guitar is joined by chimes and triangles, which add to the sparkle and shimmer of these lovely, lyrical tunes. The incorporation of old favorite strains of song brings a touch of sweet nostalgia to these originals, which will have you humming along.

These pieces are graceful, peaceful and, of course, restful. Believe me, you don’t have to be a child to enjoy these pieces! As a musician, I love the grace, fluidity and technique of Alan’s playing. On another level, I enjoy the intense beauty of every piece. And yes, on a third level, they are guaranteed to melt away your stress and anxiety and replace them with joy and happiness. And if those old childhood melodies interwoven throughout these songs don’t make you smile, you should take some time off to smell the roses!
