CALLALOO
A Lil' Lovin' for
". . . and then the light shone through"
"Wow, that's certainly not a typical pan album! Not just a collection of tunes, but a set of compositions: inspired, challenging, nicely orchestrated, and well-executed. I especially enjoyed how you sometimes seem to be heading down a familiar path, then take a detour into the unexpected. Definitely will bear repeated listening."
Don Prorak
Pan performer, composer, & educator
