there is a unique meaning to ,"billy's song"! it is a song i dedicate to
billy maclaughlin,the great guitarist/composer with an awesome unique two hands
on the fretboard approach, who had been afflicted by the neurological condition
known as focal dystonia! he had endured a major challenege in life, and overcome
it. as i was going through amajor challenege back 4 years ago,i would constantly
listen to billy's album of meditation songs he did with two other musicians. while
driving out to the beach up north. i would equate that album(sorry, i forgot the
name! LOL)with my sojourns along the shore. when i got back home to alabama,and
"billy's song" came out of me,the beachy feel to me led me to dedicate it to billy
mac! God bless you billy!

John Tinger "Everything Coincidental" 2009
Finger-style guitarist who inspired John Tinger include Alex Degrassi
and Michael Hedges, Will Ackerman, Francisco Tarrega and Ed Gerhard. The guitar
music of John Tinger has quite a few similarities to these virtuoso acoustic guitarists,
who had a major role in expanding and creating more experimental and soulful guitar
music. The guitar music of John Tinger, comes straight from his heart, it seems
like he is painting soundscapes on a musical painted canvas. The moods are as
well soulful, intimate as touching ones inner force. John Tinger plays just as
his great inspirers in altered tunings to have a wider palette of musical possibilities
to create several different moods. You just can't pick out a song to discuss as
it are all imaginary painted roads coming from his heart. The CD has 13 cuts and
all are played with fantastic skills on his steel-string guitar. A wonderful album
to calm ones mind and get out of this stressful life.

"John Tinger's new instrumental guitar CD,"Everything Coincidental",
is an inspiring collection of original works. The cutting edge playing techniques
and special tunings guide the music
and touch the soul.
I love to listen when i want to be creative myself."
