"As my first CD, I heartily dedicate this to my early father-figure Chet Atkins who nourished my soul along with Andres Segovia and Laurindo Almedia. When my father was working far away from home, their albums were my childhood constant Precious Companions. The tracks recorded here are reflections of their music." -- Richard Alcoy, 1998
