His guitars have been called the &quot;cello of guitars&quot; for their incredibly full sound and beautiful construction. David and I had some discussion before-hand about modifying the guitar to accommodate an alternate stringing, which would encompass the low bass notes of the Berkowitz baritone along with the higher bell tones of a standard guitar. My hope was that it would be a perfect compliment as a solo instrument to accompany voice, especially considering my particular finger-picking style. David had never configured one of his baritones quite like that before, but he was game and quickly accomplished the task at hand. I was completely blown away by the result. In the 30 years that I've been playing guitar, I have never played or heard anything like it. After many months of practicing and playing live with it, and encouraged by the&nbsp;comments I was getting about the sound of the instrument, I decided it was time to record a full album of unadorned&nbsp;music that focused on the songs and&nbsp;the beauty of this magnificent guitar. The result is the new album &quot;Blue You'll Do&quot;, which was sung and played live onto a digital 8-track recorder on a snowy night in a loft&nbsp;overlooking downtown&nbsp;Northampton, MA. I then added harmonies plus some occasional&nbsp;piano and percussion the following evening&nbsp;. Best listened to&nbsp;on&nbsp;speakers or headphones that have some bass, I hope you enjoy it.
