Dead But Not Gone
- A set of four original compositions for solo acoustic guitar (DADGAD tuning), each of the four pieces, Leaf, Stick, Shell and Bone, are inspired by specific objects I collected during my travels.

- Recorded at Rolling Stock Recording Rooms in Collingwood, Melbourne, Australia, by the amazing Tom Strode
- Matheas Guitars and Jim Matheas who brought vision and craftsmanship to the extensive mods and repairs to my 1980 Martin HD-35, transforming it into something new and magical
