With this album you not only get some very pretty music, but you also get some informative liner notes. "Moonlight" also features four songs enhanced by players from the Binghamton Philharmonic. The word "concert" is used here to mean a collection of music, not a live performance. This CD is in a more classical style, centered around the soft sound of the nylon-string guitar. The result: "Moonlight Concert", a peaceful collection of night-time melodies.

As Nan from Buffalo wrote, "I just got home from work, put it on, and rested on the couch listening to it- it was so relaxing, I fell asleep before the end- please take that as a compliment!"

Tom's reply: "Sounds like I did my job."

TOM'S INSTRUMENTS:



Yamaha CGX171CCA solid cedar-top classical guitar, with cutaway (Augustine strings).

Yamaha SBG-200 solid body electric guitar (SG clone).

Casio CTK-750 keyboard.

RK-101 35-note key tree.

Scotch C-38 tape dispenser.

- The "key tree" is just what it sounds like: a chime tree made out of car keys, house keys, padlock keys. It has a particularly light "tinkly" sound. I got the idea from Lance DeMers, an extraordinary drummer and Christian brother.

- The Scotch tape dispenser referred to is the molded plastic desk-model, that's filled with sand. The best way to play it is to remove the tape & spool, and of course the blade. It has a much softer sound than a cabasa. What? You thought we were kidding?
