" Fantastic! This CD is wonderful.
I can't stop listening to it.
As ususal Doug and Sandy McMaster bring the true style of slack
key guitar to us. Amazing Grace
is truly beautiful and definitely one of my favorites on this CD.
However, it is hard to name a favorite on this one as they are all
superb. I can't rate it high enough!!!" - Marcia Kostielney
"Just received my Island of
Peace CD. Doug and Sandy are truly
slack key wizards! The selections are beautifully
arranged, and are peaceful and serene. This CD is the perfect
antidote for a stressful day; I just close my eyes
and I am on a beautiful beach on Kauai at sunset . . " - Bonnie.

is more beautiful than ever, and I always learn from listening to
you. The tone you coax from your guitar
is gorgeous and reminds me that the most important
thing is a nahenahe sound. I can hardly wait to see you guys again
and to hear you play at sunset. you are the most wonderful people
and your aloha spirit comes out in your music. -- John and Cathy"
