Just got it in the mail yesterday... it's so compelling. I didn't know 
Linford could play the guitar so well. I mean, I've seen him play an 
acoustic before (When I lived in Chicago, Linford and Karin showed up at 
a tiny record shop on the near north side. I walked in the snow to get 
there. Linford played accordion and guitar, Karin played guitar and 
sang. A free gift to those who knew about it. So lovely.) But I've never 
heard him pick like that.
I put both of the solo piano CDs in the changer and let them play 
through. I drank coffee and read my current novel of choice (Angle of 
Repose- Wallace Stegnar). My wife sat next to me and slipped her bare 
feet underneath my legs, reading her own book. The light was soft. It 
was quite peaceful. When I listen to Linford playing it feels like 
Christmas, or like nights when my dad  would play the upright piano in 
our basement.
