  This 77-minute recording contains some of my favorite tunes that I have recorded over the last 24 years. I’ve stretched the word “Celtic” to a degree that my purist friends will squawk, since I include the beautiful song “When You and I Were Young, Maggie.” (At least I didn’t contort the term to include any Beatles tunes. 😊)
  
  I am grateful to my two engineers and friends who mastered the original tracks, the specifics being indicated below. (Marc Moss compiled and mastered the tracks into the final recording.) The guitarists and other musicians who have inspired me are too numerous to mention, but I thank them collectively -- and also my family for their love and patience in allowing me to pursue my musical passion.
  
  I also thank Nick Kukich (www.franklinguitarcompany.com) for creating the El McMeen Signature Model guitar, pictured on the cover.
  
  Finally, and most importantly, I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the grace to make music on the guitar.
