    An unique gift for the special people in your life. It started as a gift for my best friend’s first baby, and turned into one CD to awaken to, one to go to sleep to, with the first-ever interactive lighted CD cover. I had so much fun recording these tunes with my friends, including Mark Kibble (Take 6), Victor Wooten, Phil Keaggy, Stanley Jordan, Earl Klugh, Howard Levy, Tommy Emmanuel, Jeff Coffin, Futureman, Danny Gottlieb, and members of the Nashville Symphony.

about

I woke up one Sunday morning in Soave Italy to the sound of church bells. First one, then from two different churches at once. The chords and the rhythms of the two sets of bells together made a beautiful sound, and over it I could hear a melody soaring over. I stumbled out of bed and grabbed my guitar to find the chords. I played the chords and sang the melody over them into a portable recorder, as the bells were still playing. Then I paused to record the end of the bells as they faded out. This actual recording is at the end of the piece, and in the background you can hear an Italian child talking to his mother, and a car going past from the street below. From the beginning I envisioned Victor Wooten playing the melody and improvising on it, so it is a real vision come true to have him play it. I recorded the bells at the beginning and just before the end many years ago when I was walking in a cow pasture in the mountains near Zurich Switzerland. When three church bells started ringing at once I recorded it together with the gentle cowbells in the distance on my new Sony minidisc. They were very old bells, so to match the pitch of the ancient tuning, I tuned my guitar down to A432. Yet I named the tune in honor my friend Uwe Spann, who arranged for me to play a benefit concert to raise money get new bells for his church tower in Lingenfeld, Germany. I sent him a recording of the piece as a surprise even though we hadn’t corresponded for a year or so, and then walked to my mailbox. In my box was a card from Uwe, with a photo of the bell tower of Lingenfeld on the front.
