Glenn, you really have great feel and textures in your music. The A2 A-list people working with you did a fantastic job also! The songs are really recorded well. I like the left hand-right hand separation in the mix. I can really hear all of what you're playing very clearly! Good luck to you. Steve
Hi Glenn! Thanks for the add. I've heard a lot about you from my Dad and I've listened to your album quite a bit- Really great stuff, man. Keep up the great work!
