So, if you're going to produce... ...distinctly Tilerish fingerstyle versions of standards from all genres, then you have to check out the music of Rick Ruskin. I used to have the recording he did with Lewis Ross called 'Sounds Familiar'...much of which seems to be on one of his compilation CD's... Because, you see, I can easily imagine a Tiler "covers" CD in the offing... whether it be classical, folk, spiritual or pop repertoire, you seem to be able to make tunes your own, Bill...

So, if you're going to produce... Rick Ruskin is great. I have several albums and CD's of his that I have treasured for years. Tiler does remind me of him on some of his tunes. They both have a lot of originality and passion in their playing. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

a favorite, Tilerized! Very nicely performed unique take on this classic... definitely has that signature Tiler-style in it, which makes it very delectable... different enough from Ravel's original to showcase your great ability to add your own touches to just about anything. Funny you should put the camels in... they fit! The things you did to this gave it even more of the middle-eastern (Moorish) flair that exists in Spanish music, and we'll forget that Maurice Ravel was French :-) As always, an amazingly beautiful re-setting of this powerful tune. In some ways I wanted it to build as the original did, with you doing full strums at the end, but your soft touch worked well too. ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Took me back One of my favourites Bill, and I really like the way you've arranged this. This seems to be the best use of orchestral sounds you've done so far - lots of empathy for the guitar part in the string arrangement. You get a lazy North African feel here - very Moorish as Eduard said. I think this is as much the strings as your playing. Took me back to 76 camping outside Zagora on the edge of the Moroccan Sahara. Very well done! Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

Peaceful I enjoyed listening to this. I like the exotic flavor and the thoughtful, unhurried feel. I was reminded of enjoying the quiet, rural twilight. Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

Another very nice job by you, Bill. I've never heard Bolero on guitar
before, but it seems like a great idea, now that I've heard your version!
Works really well. Like the harmonics.
I'm curious to know you recorded the guitar in two takes, with the
repeating bass figure on one, and the melody part on the other? I suspect
you didn't, in which case I don't know how you managed to play the two
parts together! Pretty amazing.
