about

While there are other guitars I play including guitars by Santa Cruz, Martin, Taylor, Laravee, and Ron Ho, I have found no better and versatile guitar than that made by Michael Millard at Froggy Bottom, Newfane, Vermont. In addition to being the finest guitar builder I know, Michael is the gentleman and scholar you hear about but rarely meet.

Will Ackerman has used Adamas strings since 1980.

Paul McCandless' English horn made by Loree, Paris.

Rob Eberhard Young plays Takamine guitars, uses Trace Acoustic Amplification and D'Addario strings.

Marc Shulman plays Pensa-suhr guitars.

Philip Aaberg piano courtesy of Yamaha.

All compositions published by Imaginary Road Music ( BMI ) except A CHILD's SONG which is co-published by Imaginary Road Music ( BMI ) and Samite Artistic Productions/Samite Music ( BMI ). Administered by Imaginary Road Music ( BMI ).

about

William Ackerman Vermont

I recorded my first record for about $ 300 in 1975, creating Windham Hill Records in the process. I’ve produced George Winston and Michael Hedges among many others.

I’ve toured in the US, Europe and Japan. I have a Grammy Award and 21 Gold and Platinum Records as a producer in the US and overseas. My studio is in Windham County, Vermont. It’s been a lot of fun. Still is. ... more
