Reviews:
“An album that features acoustic instrumental tunes mostly necessitates an intimate listening experience and
Eulberg’s 21-track collection delivers in full. The often exotic sound of the music, including minor key musical delicacies,
some syrupy blues and even some light jazz, takes the listener to a special place indeed–a place where the dulcimer sounds
are sweet and the melodies just kind of hang serenely in the air.” –Tim Van Schmidt, Colorado
“…an excellently mastered collection, all richly arranged and mixed to take advantage of the ephemerally “sweet sound” of dulcimer
music….While this CD is not specifically a holiday album, nevertheless it would make a fine gift for any discerning listener,”
–SingOut!
“It’s a fine disc to create a seasonal atmosphere for the mind and spirit.” –Dirty Linen
“…so beautiful to hear, music to dream and fly away.” –Ursula Goretzky, DJ Hamburger Lokalradio, Hamburg, Germany
“…some really nice music…” –Jack Bethel, Glasgow, Scotland
“…Steve is a FAVORITE Worldwide!! A total of 54:18 minutes of pleasure in sound is what’s
waiting for you here.” –EH King, Country Western Corner
“AWESOME!!!!!! Your best CD yet!” –Rini Twait, Colorado
“I love it; I play it all the time!” –John Carrier, Minnesota
“I know we’re in the Easter season, but I just got it this past weekend. I’m really enjoying it!”
–Ken Longfield, Pastor in Pennsylvania
“…very interesting, I too like the minor melodies….” –Don Neuhauser, Indiana
“Christmas never sounded so good in March and April!” –Ron Drury, Pastor and DJ, Nebraska
