Storefront Photograph is his seventh CD since his Beyond the Stars appeared in 1988.... time after time he comes out with original, high-quality songs. Storefront Photograph touches me with its simplicity... this collection of songs consists of no more than an acoustic guitar and voice..... an almost typical singer/songwriter CD. It is the directness of his lyrics that speaks to me. My imagination is constantly stimulated. Turn It Over deals with aging. He changes course immediately with Follow Your Heart, which offers the happy advice that dreams never die. My own favourite is the very personal River – a key song that led to the creation of this CD.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRein van den Berg, Johnny’s Garden, Netherlands.
