about

This is an improvised acoustic instrumental album dedicated to Steven Wesley Guiles father, Chester Light Guiles.

This album is a love letter and a memorial to Chester Light Guiles.
Each song title is a memory, saying, or incident that Dave or Steven (Chet's sons) recalled about their dad.

Each song was recorded in a single, improvised take using one microphone (and in one instance, an iPhone).

Garret is as adept at mixing sounds as he is at playing them together in beautiful, swirling counterpoints. His latest album is a sound to behold. Highly recommended. Steven Wesley Guiles
