    Anyhow, my first reason for coming here is to share with all of you a wonderful but as yet unreleased album by a friend of mine named Roy Burkett called “Hidden Tracks” (2004).

    A few years ago I was living in Boulder, Colorado & during one of my visits up to the mountain town of Nederland, I checked out The Alpaca Store & More. It’s a lovely, cozy place & I met Roy there. He’s the owner & proprietor. We started to talk about cinema & art & he told me about his music & his album. He gave me a free copy of the CD & when I listened to it at home I enjoyed it immensely. It’s extremely pleasurable & gorgeous music with world class musicianship with Great musicians such as Scott Boyer, Bonnie Bramlett, Larry Byrom, Kelvin Holly, & More.

    It’s a sparkling, beautiful sounding recording made at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

    For some reason I still don’t understand Roy never distributed it & he stopped playing live years ago. He’s in his early 60s & keeps to himself in Nederland but I’d love to share his lovely, wonderful music with other fans of Adult Contemporary, Folk Rock, Country and Western, & Gospel Music like us in this fan group community.

    I think you’ll love it. I just released it on YouTube & Roy would love to hear what you think!

    Please write me anytime here or at dgtolstoy@yahoo.

    You can write Roy at royburkett54@hotmail.com or call him at his Alpaca Shop at +303-258-1400

    Talk to all of you soon,

    Hey Doug.
    What a good album this is. I rarely listen to a CD someone made all the way through. Doc Schneider and Glenn Brace are among the few that had me listening to the whole thing. Tell Roy that his CD is appreciated.

    Hi Brian,

    Wow. Wonderful to hear you listened to all of it & enjoyed it so much. Please, again, feel to write Roy at his email royburkett54@hotmail.com or even call him at his shop, 303 258 1400.

    In the meantime, I’ll forward your remarks to him today. And I was confused, who are those 2 names you mentioned?

    Thanks again,
    Doug

    PS What do you think of Roy’s cover of “Yellow and Rose”?

    Also, Brian, I can’t find my 1st post to this forum group on here. Was it deleted?

    Hi again, Brian, I looked up those 2 musicians, Doc Schneider & Glenn Brace, & thank you for turning me onto to their beautiful, mellow, calming music!

    Both are wonderful guitarists with emotionally pleasurable & touching melodies & excellent playing. Both have distinctive, soothing voices that are extremely pleasurable.

    I definitely will purchase their CDs.

    While looking at some of Doc’s guitar instructional videos on YouTube, I also came upon some of Simon Johnson’s songs & they are also lovely & striking!

    3 excellent, heartfelt musicians who are in the wonderful tradition of James Taylor. It’s a real treat to discover their work. Thanks again for the recommendation.

    Doug
