Click here to launch a flash player and listen to the set I played on KOCR, an internet radio station.  This player will launch in a seperate window and will continue to play while you browse the rest of the site. Hope you enjoy it!

This show was picked up from the audio chat room hosted by The Texas Fingerstyle Guitar Association and streamed to well over 6 million listeners around the world.  I was told to expect an audience that large before I played that night, but frankly the number was too much to comprehend.  I was just alone with my guitars in a soundproof studio room and trying not to think about much else.

It was impossible to forget, however, that several of the listeners that night were our troops stationed overseas, including several dozen in both Afghanistan and Iraq.  Now that was an honor!

Here's the text discussion that went on in the TFGA Chatroom while I was playing on OCRN...
