  - Lydia Kennedy, Reno Gazette-Journal, Reno, NV 7/21/97

• “Whenever he has played in the Phoenix area people are in awe of both his musicianship and The Stick. When he plays he sounds like two guitars and an electric bass all playing together when, in fact, he plays alone but his ten fingers dance nimbly over the twelve strings creating this illusion. He is a marvelous self-contained act who needs no accompaniment.”
  - Charles Swan, President, Jazz in AZ, Inc., Scottsdale, AZ 6/21/97
