Somewhere in my East Asheville Imagination

HEY! 

    SPRING is officially HERE!

             (Pay no attention to the snow and ice....) 

  

That means we are heading out soon for a few more concerts. We're playing the Rock Barn in Conover, NC on Friday, April 12th. And the Franklin Park Arts Center in Purcellville, VA on Friday, April 26. More concert details are below.

 

And some other news:

 

~ We are having a SALE! We are tentatively calling this a MOVING SALE, although it's currently only listed as an "Inventory Clearance" on our online store. Either way, the price is right. (If we do move, we'll certainly let you know - and we'll let you know why, too. And if you can't believe we would leave these views, rest assured we won't be far from them. Besides, you may soon have your chance to stay in our sweet ridge-top home and take your own photos of this mountain splendour! That's the plan, anyway....)

 

~ AL's New INSTRUCTIONAL DVD on Homespun Tapes is being really well-received! And there are more DVDs where that came from, of course....

 

~ If you are a fingerstyle guitarist and would prefer personal instruction over the DVD experience, you are welcome to set up a private GUITAR LESSON with AL via SKYPE. 

 

~ If you are an electric-guitar lover (closet or brazen!) - check out the PRS we have for sale at Dream Guitars! She's a beauty. 

 

~ AMY's new CD has received some great press recently, including a fabulous review in MAVERICK, the UK's leading independent country music magazine. Also, her song, "The Best Dog" was featured in the Spring 2013 issue of BARK, the dog culture magazine. We're thrilled with the response thus far.

 

More news to come! 

 

In the meantime, please visit on our FACEBOOK PAGE, and check the latest adds to our PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE.

 

With much love and gratitude,

 

MOVING? & CLEARANCE SALE!
(online orders only)
 
(When we're absolutely sure we'll be moving, we'll  call it a Moving Sale. :-)
 
We have an over-abundance of several titles. Why not check out the sale to see if you and your friends are missing anything from your collection? We'd much rather that you have these products at a reduced price than have to move them all to our new studio space!
 
 
Sound-Clips are available for most albums. Thank you for listening!!
BARK! The Dog Culture Magazine
Such a sweet little write-up about the ones
who steal our hearts....

This magazine is a gorgeous publication. 
If you are a fan of critters, and dogs
in particular, be sure to check it out!
"...a pure musical joy from beginning to end..."
Blue Guitar in DADGAD Tuning
While at home, in your pajamas?
Why not?

Al has several DVDs of guitar instruction available, of course! Including his new release on Homespun Tapes, featuring Blues Guitar in DADGAD tuning.

But - if you are like many folks - you may prefer the more personal one-on-one, student-teacher experience. If this sounds like you, and you want to explore fingerstyle guitar in depth, you are welcome to send Al an email to set up your own SKYPE GUITAR LESSON!!  :-)
2001 Paul Reed Smith Custom 22 Artist - Solid Body Electric Electric Guitar

Check out Al's beautiful Paul Reed Smith guitar that is listed on Dream Guitars. Gorgeous, eh?

It's a sweeeeet guitar, but we're trying to downsize our collection... So....If you are a fan of electric guitars, why not check it out?

"And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest."
