I looked at the dial on the radio and it said 2002. This was my first taste of your beautiful music and I have been a fan ever since. But, that is just the beginning of my story. I have played guitar for many years but never tried playing a nylon string instrument. After hearing your music I decided to give it a try. It has been my experience that in order to sound good you need to get high end instruments and pay a good price in the process. I did some research and tried out some expensive guitars all the way up to $3000.00. Guess what? I ended up buying a $199.00 Yamaha! I had exactly the same experience that you did Randy and I was just overwhelmed by the sound of this guitar. Many years ago a session guitarist named Tommy Tedesco told me that the best recording nylon string guitars were the cheaper ones. I think he knew what he was talking about. Thank you 2002 for your wonderful music. I am looking forward to hearing your upcoming CD! I was listening to my Sirius radio one day and I heard this incredible nylon string guitar playing.

Thanks! And you answered another question I had, that being that sometimes I heard what sounded like a violin in your tracks...ah ha, now I know what it is, your guitar??! I love learning all about your music. And so you know Tony O'Connor? Isn't it amazing how you all find each other, I understand he and Medwyn Goodall just clicked too. You've each got different types of music but there is something for all of us to enjoy...you may joke that you wish you'd thought of something like that, and I know what you mean, but I would imagine that music is often a personal journey, and stamped with that as such. So...keep enjoying your journey, and love your music as it is now (and was then!) Yes please to seeing that! Thanks!

I hope you can do that. If it isn't a big deal, it would be neat to know how that WX-5 thingy works. I went to the page Pamela linked to about it, and I guess I still don't understand it. Thanks.

Susan, we are actually aquatinted with Tony O'Connor and his music, we exchanged some CDs with him a few years back... great music. He's one of those composers that make you think, "Wow, I wish I had written that!" Mars Lasar is like that for me too. As far as guitars go, lately I've been playing a Stratocaster (electric) with a special handheld magnetic device called an E-bow. It produces a beautiful sound, sustaining the notes forever like a violin being bowed. I'll see if I can make a little video of it and post it in the next couple weeks, if you all are interested. :) Thanks for the comments guys!

I'm glad you did finally find something Mr. Copus, if you didn't, we wouldn't have 2002 as it is today! Mooshykris Wow, that really is something.

I've always loved the sound of guitar and when it's married up with other instruments it truly is a lush soundscape. The guitar added to your CDs just added a rich, almost flavoursome, if you will, texture to your music and gave it an extra edge. I had noticed that the guitar didn't sound the way most did, what predominantly came to mind whenever I listened to your CDs and heard it was how "celestial" it would sound. In fact, when I helped manage and run a new age shop, I had a pattern I invariably followed for dictating my music during the day. Since we were prone to get extremely busy on a Saturday at lunch time, I used to always aim to have a 2002 CD on at that peak time. Firstly, to help promote your music, secondly, to help keep me calm! But I used to relate to people that I would "program" the music for the day by "starting off with something earthy and grounding like Tony O'Connor and then move into the celestial like 2002 for the middle of the day before re-grounding again." I still follow this pattern today where I work now, in a massage and aromatherapy practice. Your CDs always get the most comments from clients :) I love this story and find it incredibly fascinating.
