"This beautifully told unfolding of John's life - boy to man, intellectual to visceral seer - subtly, delicately reveals the genius of Eugene Halliday, a man for all men and women - literally, music for the senses!" Barbara Pidgeon, author of 'Shakti Manifest'; A finely produced book. It tells the story of the classical guitarist John Zaradin and how he came to study and the approach to his work and his art, all told in a threefold way seamlessly interwoven into a single harmonious tapestry. Harmonious, that is the key. The way the books is woven together reflects the threefold aspect of Zaradin`s music ; how he came to think of himself as a potential serious musician, his meeting with his mentor, Eugene Halliday, who has been a lifelong influence, and last some of the technical and philosophic aspects of music. There are many illustrations, and Hephzibah makes an admirable and unobtrusive observer linking it all together.” Philip Rose, author of ‘The Way: Spirit from the Well’ and ‘Waves of The Sea’ ; “This is a warmly written story of a richly interesting life - I came away with a real sense of the process of creating music from the inside. Fascinating the many kinds of influence that come together to make a unique picture. A book to enjoy with a glass of wine.” Robert Darwin. ; “While I am familiar with some of John Zaradin’s Great Guitar Music and arrangements , I expected to read more about his 'Journey ' within the Music World . After reading a second time, I realized It described his path to Personal Development .” Brian Mcallister
