Album Review

I was invited to join CAO and felt very blessed to be a member of this amazing group. Berets and Bongos is a super example of the musical diversity in the group. I used a couple different guitars, my new to me banjo, played the oud and sang in Armenian on the recording. The band was joined by stunning songbird Diane Jarvi on a number of tracks. This recording is my Dad's personal favorite.
