DVD

This DVD, shot by Bernard Leroux, was made near the beginning of a tour in November 2006 at the beautiful Glenn Gould Studio in downtown Toronto. It was a pleasure to be on the road again with Michael Manring, and to be introducing Andy McKee to my audience. This performance was just a few days before Andy shot the fateful YouTube videos that went on to launch his now worldwide fame. It was a great night

Solo Acoustic Guitar

Huron Street (released in 2001), is comprised of 12 new performances of pieces already familiar to his fans in Canada. Since the tunes originally appeared on CDs that were only ever released in Canada, Don decided to make some of his favourite earlier pieces available to the wider audience he reaches through his association with Narada Records. All 12 performances are new, each taking a unique twist on the tunes: some of these have appeared before as ensemble pieces and are now captured solo. Two pieces that were originally recorded solo are now presented as duets with amazing upright bassist Jordan O'Connor. The reaction has been very positive, with Huron Street reaching the Top Ten on Billboard's New Age chart in the summer of 2001.

Solo Acoustic Guitar

Don's Passion Session CD, recorded in Berlin's Passionskirche, was released in March 1999 on Narada/Virgin Records. The recording brings Don back to his roots as a solo fingerstyle guitarist, as he produces his first totally solo album ever for Narada's Masters of Acoustic Guitar series. Don got the news of the offer of a new contract with Narada while on tour in Germany in November 1998. The planned release date for his first CD for the company was so soon that he decided to team up with his recording engineer friend Knut Becker right away and record the album straight to two-track digital through a Schoeps stereo microphone in the acoustically perfect confines of the Passionskirche (The Church of the Passion) in Berlin's funky Kreuzberg neighbourhood.
