Editorial Reviews
Dirty Linen, June/July 2000
Owing much in mood to the timeless qualities found in the music of Nick Drake, acoustic John Martyn, and Pentangle
(Scott Appel, Recording Artist)
Parker's technique on the fretboard and Bengtson's vocals evoke the best of what has been termed "folk Music"(Scott Appel, Recording Artist)
Ken Bastura, musicHound folk The Essential Album Guide / Frogbelly Folk News
"Rose's voice and Ebin's guitar work as a flowing musicial mosaic...the sum being greater than the parts,"
Lahri Bond, Dirty Linen, June/July 2000
Awash with soft accents, guitar flourishes, finger-picked fineries, and seductively sung vocals, this is a sonic treat for all.

We are finally ready to start promoting my 'I Surrender' single with my album, 'Ella Trip' coming right after -yey!! What d'ya think to the video teaser?
Good to talk to ye. Sorry I had to run. Always busy at the shop. That guitarist is Craig Ventresco. He plays a late 40's Epi Byron. Great!!!! Take care!!
Very nice new tune. Closed my eyes and I thought it was John Fahey pickin'!!! How is everything? I am back at home with my wife, and starting to write tunes again. All's good at the moment. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
Just wanted to let you know that our debut album, InSight, is now finished and set to be released June 27. You can already pre-listen to a few of the tracks only here on myspace! Also, check out our video for the song Down, down, down.
I found a 1920's style 2 Martin taropatch in it's original hardshell at a local antique shop, a few back cracks and one treble side crack that has been repaired, but no top cracks and the original Hardshell case. I bet George would think it cool;)
Aw thanks for your kind comments and we are very pleased to be able to give them back. Lovely stuff. You don't sound like Pentangle whethere from England or not you sound like Ebin-Rose. A good contemporary sound which we enjoyed a lot.
I am doing quite well my friend. I am at a loss of time though. I have a couple of new songs that I want to record - just cant find the time. Have a great Memorial Day!!!
All is going great!!! I am employed - that's no small accomplishment these days!!! I am learning a thing or two each day on the guitar - can't complain!!! How are things with you? Have a great weekend my friend!!!
