^^^^ " This is my first time hearing the cd and being a lover of jazz, I'm really loving this, especially Funk-A-Tash! It sounds wonderful and I will be recommending it " Michelle Johnson Lewisville, Tx.^^^^^ " Steve! I knew you would still be playing guitar, I down loaded Permanent Solution, and all I can say is that you guys kick some serious ass with that jam! Tasteful chord progressions, nice harmonic leads, and a cool blend of guitar orchestration and improvisation. A kickin bass riff and some leads that are right up there with Beck and Dimeola. My hats off to you sir! I would seriously be interested in hearing your band live if you ever play in the DC area". Drew Cissel ^^^^^ " " Bill, excellent job! I didn't even know about the cd, I was surfing on MP3 and found you guys! Great stuff, excellent music, keep up the good work". Frank Basoli, Tampa Fla. ^^^^^ " Bill, you are a funk monster "! Dennis Acgunura. Tarpon Springs Fla. ^^^^ " Great cd guys! Sweet Dreams is a very relaxing, smooth song to listen to after a long day at the office." Debbie Aceto ^^^^^ " Steve, As usual you guys sound as tight as can be. Your brother is one bad wamma jamma. You 2 play off each other incredibly well " Rick Ricker. ^^^^^ " Hey Bernd Brothers, I'm Cevon Jones and I'm on the 8010 stations with you. I'm sure you get thousands of E-mails, but I just had to write you and tell you a few things. For the last few years, I've been using my guitars as song writing tools. Listening to your music everyday has inspired me to pick up my guitars and play them for the sheer enjoyment of it. I haven't played this much in years. Y'all guys are amazing and I just wanted to thank you for putting such beautiful music on the net. Its really re-kindled my love affair with the guitar ^^^^" GREAT Music/Playing! We feel Blessed & Grateful to know You . Bob and Peggy " Morris Code ".READ MORE
