As a regular lurker and very occasional post-er on this board, I wanted to let you all know about an album I've just finished.  It's called "Aviary Jackson".  You can sample various tunes from it at:

myspace.com/dcarlsonmusic & www.danielcarlson.com

The whole shabang can be purchased at:

www.groundlift.org

It's a mix of melodies and nifty chord changes, cellos, french horns, and harpsichords (along with the usual guitar, bass, and drums).  And while no one would confuse it with a Sean & Co. record, I can honestly say that they've been such a big influence me that I'd hope some of what they do shone (shined? shines?) through anyway.

Best,

Daniel

I would like to second that post. I have recently downloaded 'Aviary Jackson' and am pleased to report that it is an excellent album, a real pleasure to listen to from start to finish. Highly recommended.

 Many thanks to Daniel and cohorts for uplifting me after about 36 hours of feeling gloomy.

The myspace tracks are a treat, Velvet really grabs the listener.

Yours

Tony.

ps. this is my first ever forum post, just joined today.

 Thanks for the nice words everyone - it's really appreciated.

 Feel free to email me offline and I'll keep you up to date with the assorted "Aviary Jackson" goings on.

 Best,

 Daniel
