  • Old Time Echoes
    author: Rick Plank

    The mountains would ring with the sounds of this instrument. What a great compilation of songs to test the dexterity of the performer and transfix the listener. These tunes will take the listner back to Scottish roots and pioneer spirit, and then have fun with some more contemporary offerings. Thompson's instrument has a great old time sound, and the echoes may encourage the listner to pick up the instrument and start playing himself. I know I did. Thanks!

  • Doug Thompson's Banjomer CD is Great Listening!

    The Banjomer CD is fun to listen to. The Banjomer is a very unique instrument, and all the songs sounded great! Thoroughly enjoyed the CD.
