Over the past 2 years, EWTN radio has occasionally used
cuts from my CD, Mass Preludes, as fill music after the
Daily Mass program. They don't announce the artists, so
its our little secret.

Here's a testimonial:
Dear Jim,
Thanks for the beautiful guitar instrumentals.  We are using
all of the cuts on KBVM-88.3-FM , Portland's Catholic radio
station.  God bless you for your efforts and your work.  I love
your web site. All the best in your endeavors for our Lord and
His Church.
In Christ,
Mark Andreas

My class, Solo Liturgical Guitar I,
through the St. Cecilia Institute
(formerly the Schola Cantorum at St.
Cecilia's Cathedral) is going well. One
of my students showed me a nice
version of the Ave Maria for guitar and
I learned it. First new piece (besides my
stuff) I have learned in years. I have
added several new exercises and some
simplified versions of LGH
arrangements (see Silent Night-easy) for
my students. Check them out.
The LGH will celebrate its 5th birthday
on November 15. It now contains 75
hymns.
My mission is to enhance the practice and status of the guitar as an instrument
of liturgical worship by providing accessible and musical arrangements of hymns
suitable for use as preludes, postludes and musical interludes.
