Andy R,

“Hi Ed, Awesome tracks, thank you so much for all the effort you put into it. Lots of great sounds, ties it all together beautifully.
As far as the solos, I don’t know which to chose. So i edited the section where the solo is and repeated it two more times to accommodate all 3 solos. It is now a prog rock epic 😉
I will work out which one or two to use later. Thanks again.”
David Peebles,

“I have managed for 17 years and the best man I have worked with is Ed. He is a true keeper as a musician and co-worker. When you need him he is there in a pinch, and when there is trouble he is very level headed and loyal.
He is a great player and musician and I can’t tell you how much I depend on him for my clients as well as now with the Room 105, the musical I am directing on Janis Joplin.
Ed always comes through!”
