Guitar and Cello
The beautiful rich sound of cello and guitar is a perfect choice
for any wedding ceremony. Alan Stellings (cello) splits his time as
a professional cellist between Toronto and Guelph. His playing is
immaculate on both pieces below. I provide a harmonic background using
my classical guitar.
Guitar Duo
This track shows just how beautiful
two guitars can sound
together. My guitar was handcrafted in Argentina
by Jose
Yacopi.
It has perhaps the most beautiful tone I have heard from a guitar.
Mathew Glass is the other half of this duo. He is playing a steel
string acoustic made in the USA by Breedlove. The combination of nylon
and
steel string guitars gives our recording of "Moon and Sand" a
wonderful clarity and warmth.

Piano and Bass
Here is a fine example of how
good an upright bass and piano can sound when recorded carefully. This
track was recorded
live at my home with no editing or adjustments to
the sound except for a little reverb thrown in the final mix. My piano
playing is enhanced by some
tremendous playing by Mark Macintyre on bass.
Vocal Trio
The song "Peel Me A Grape" features
Brenda Lewis (vocal), Mark Macintyre (Bass), and myself playing the piano.
Everyone was recorded live as it happened, no overdubs. Brenda Lewis is
a wonderful local singer. She gives this piece the light and playful character
that it deserves.

Vocal Quartet
This ensemble features Tom McLelland
playing congas, Mathew Glass playing a Cittern, Brenda Lewis singing and
myself playing a Heritage Archtop Guitar. This is the perfect ensemble
for corporate events or weddings where a non-intrusive quartet sound is
necessary. Two guitars with vocals and percussion is also an interesting
and tasteful sound without being overbearing.
