Doug GravesParticipant
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
Doug GravesParticipantOkay. Thanks.
That other link will work, too, but It’s obviously way longer than it needed to be.
I was referring to ‘Bat’ on here whose real name is Brian. I thought he was the webmaster or forum moderator.
Warm Wishes,
DougDoug GravesParticipantHey Brian, I’m not able to edit my post on here to Barb but I’m also not able to delete it. I need to change the url link in it.
Thanks,
DougDoug GravesParticipantHi Barb,
I’m Doug from Camarillo in Southern California.
Your posts on here about following JT as a fan are just beautiful, such as delivering fans comments on here to JT in person.
I want to share with you a post I wrote in the Musicians Corner:
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,
Doug GravesDoug GravesParticipantAlso, Brian, I can’t find my 1st post to this forum group on here. Was it deleted?
Doug GravesParticipantHi 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,
DougPS What do you think of Roy’s cover of “Yellow and Rose”?
