My Special Guest is Guitar Virtuoso Nate Najar

It’s been a couple of years since Nate Najar has joined us with his guitar.

That was when he brought us his beautiful album, “Under Paris Skys.” This is true, I probably listen to this album a couple times a week with my morning coffee, or when I need to bring down the stress level in my office, I play Under Paris Skys. The music has this calming “take me away” quality, it takes me to Paris outside the train station at a French cafe, the kind of cafe with a person shucking oysters outside for passers by. With my friends, preparing to board a train to Venice.

Having a glass of red wine before boarding, and buying a couple extra bottles tucked into paper bags for the overnight journey. It takes me to Firenze, sitting eating cheese, salami and baguettes, watching the setting sun sparkle off of the roof of the Duomo.

So I have been looking forward to a new album by Nate Najar, and now my wait is over. So is yours.

Becky Byrd says of Nate’s beautiful guitar work:

“There is no doubt that there is a piece of Charlie’s soul in Nate’s mind, heart and fingers.”  - Becky Byrd (Charlie Byrd’s widow)
