    The resulting work, and meeting of two minds who admire and compliment each others creativity, is something of rare, imaginative depth.

    Hearing him cut loose on this new project is a welcome change, and his obvious affection for Gordon shines through every note of this charming effort. [Oct 2016, p.88]
