This song is such a compliment to my Mother, who was a “Brick Layers Daughter” We play it everytime we go to visit her grave and share a memory or two. Thank you so much for such a fine piece of musical masterpice.

@moh2o Thanx!!! Ackerman & Hedges are THE REASON I play acoustic guitar. Hope you like MY version on Will’s tune, “IMPENDING DEATH…” I play with Michael Manring. Check it out!
This is the first piece of guitar music that I heard that got me into listening to ‘American fingerstyle Guitar’ , then it was , Hedges, Kottke, now Mckee, Ross, Dufour, ect. But this was the piece that started it all. It still has a profound effect on my mind and heart.

When I was in college, attending North Dakota State University – Bottineau and Institute of Forestry, I had a couple of his tapes, and would play them while I studied learning all the genus and species names.tons of them! Totally mind blowing all the stuff I had to memorize, listening to William, totally got me focused! For someone who graduated with a “D” average…I made the Dean’s list my second quarter. My parents were blown away! It was “who are you, and what have you done with our son?

How many moments this has carried my spirit over the years since I first heard it, and now in the field with Hospice Chaplaincy, it carries other spirits over, into, and beyond ~ Thank you William Ackerman ~

I was just looking through a box of old vinyl albums and found ‘Passage’ amounst a few other ‘Windham Hill’ albums. Sadly I don’t have a working record deck at the moment having gone 85% to CD. The album predates my wedding and my wife had never heard it so I took a chance on Youtube. Thanks for uploading it dakotarose06. I can’t get any where near playing it on the guitar. Thats why I now play Celtic mandolin, smaller neck, less of a stretch!

There are at least two totally demented f@ckers in the world!!
Will Ackerman is a legend. He is a huge inspiration for my acoustic playing.

How much more beautiful than this can you get, God’s music and scenery! Not to mention the gift he gave to Will!

@zmanofwar3 I know, I can only think that they are not quite centered.
