This review is from: Glass Stories (Audio CD)

Every year my daughter and I see Donal playing his amazing glass harmonica at the Ohio Renaissance Festival and every year we are just transfixed by his hypnotic talents. Plus, he is about the nicest person you would ever want to meet and happily recognizes us every time we're there.

When he asks for requests, most people plead for Stairway to Heaven or (heaven forbid) Freebird, but I always request an original. To my joy, the original he always plays is "Ruidoso Sunrise" which is included on this CD. The song has a melancholy feel, but its warmth is anything but sad.

His rendition of "Strawberry Fields Forever" would make Mr. Lennon smile. The ending song, "The Parting Glass" is a version of the beautiful song that the RenFest cast sings at the conclusion of the day and is a perfect ending for this incredible collection of magic.
