El Dorado
$9.95
Neil’s latest release includes original compositions that were written in 2002. Much of it is inspired by people, places, and things that forged the Old West. Well, that’s what he says but we don’t see it.
Description
Neil’s Notes:
My compositional frenzy continued through 2001 (much to the dismay of my family) and I put the finishing touches on El Dorado in the fall of 2002. I tend to get a little obsessed with projects from time to time and most of my other responsibilities kind of get ignored.
As I worked on some of these pieces I occassionally had to write what might be considered some high-maintenance areas- tremolo for example in Highway Robbery. I tried to balance that with melodic simplicity in other songs- Rosa May for example.
I think El Dorado is the most varied set of pieces I have ever put together. They range from easily accessible to a bit more challenging. Nani still tells me to stop anytime I start playing Augie’s Friends. Although there are earlier pieces that evoke the same reaction.
