Still Not Grown Up

Some years ago, Deborah Stuart, David Colburn, and Will Cabell toured Russia with a multi-media show called "Lost Nation Revue." They were all drawn together by the string band music that evolved in the southeastern United States during the early twentieth century. David's favorite cut on this cassette is the mandolin and guitar duet of "East Tennessee Blues" he played with Will Cabell on side two. Most of the songs are catchy sing-alongs, zesty standards, or both. Instrumentation includes guitar, banjo, mandolin, autoharp, ukulele, kazoo, and 12-string guitar. Don't miss Fats Waller's classic "Get Some Cash For Your Trash" rendered as a recycling ballad by Deborah and Will. The cassette has sixteen spellbinding songs for only $10.00. How can you go wrong?
Metamorphosis

Seth Austen is one of our instructors, web designers and a fine fingerstyle guitarist. Here is one hour of Seth's instrumental music, everything from Celtic and Appalachian to bottleneck blues performed on solo 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars. “Many of these compositions make use of open tunings that give his 6 and 12 string guitars great depth and resonance. Austen is among the finest fingerstyle guitarists and his bottleneck technique is flawless.” Dirty Linen. CD, $15, cassette, $10.
Desert Winds

On this recording, Seth plays acoustic and MIDI guitar and is joined by a number of northern Virginia's finest acoustic musicians playing Seth's original compositions. “Balances the rich timbres of the acoustic steel stringed guitar with a lush ensemble and the extended sonic possibilities of guitar synthesizer. Seth solos against an ever changing drone, the effect is an almost palpable breathing as the composition unfolds.” MIDI Guitarist. CD, $15, cassette, $10.
