  • Positano Songs - Track 5 - For Carmine
    lnk.to/positan...
    To Carmine Pallone, whose friendship makes Positano Italy an infinitely richer place. Many of my happiest memories have Carmine in them. Some of the loudest and longest laughs I’ve had in my life have been with Carmine.
    There’s a lot to love about Positano, but the best reason for me to love the place is that my dear friend Carmine Pallone lives there.
    p.s. pronounced "Car-mee-nay"
    Will - Parlor Guitar & 6 String guitar
    Eugene Friesen - Cello
    Tom Eaton - Bass
    Positano Songs- official Release March 4th 2022.
    Produced by Tom Eaton & Will Ackerman
    Mixed & Mastered by Tom Eaton

      Hi Joe, Thanks for writing. It's not some put-on on my part... I still have this kind of surprisingly clueless response to people actually liking what I do... you'd think that after 45 years, I'd get this through my aging head. Maybe I need to take a page from Mohammad Ali and start my days in the mirror repeating "I am the greatest" over and over again. On second thought, I think not.

    Isn't it great when a place can evoke such emotion and inspiration, leading to the creation of such a wonderful piece of art? I suspect those songs incrementally grew in your head with every visit to Positano. I hope that with every playing of these songs, the precious memories that helped create them, will come rushing back. Congratulations on an excellent album!

      Thanks Glen, It's gotten pretty crazy busy in the last decade or so, but going there in the beginning or end of the season (which seems to longer every year) still offers a lot of the magic of the place I"ve known for a bit more than 4 decades.

    My musical hero does it again! The new album and this song in particular are just as heartbreakingly good and emotionally honest as anything Will has done. I knew nothing about Will or Windham Hill until a few years ago. I was actually in Windham County, VT on a trip and killing some time on Facebook - my cousin posted his excellent cover of a Michael Hedges song and from there it was off to the races for me. In the subsequent years I’ve been inspired to explore so much of Will’s work and his broader influence- and also felt compelled to start learning fingerstyle guitar for myself. Turns out I had completed my Windham Hill pilgrimage before I even knew I was on it.

      Hi Peter, this is a lovely piece of writing in and of itself, but it's kind message is also deeply appreciated. I don't know exactly what transpired to make this album special for me...yes, Positano is Positano and there are lovely memories and dear friends there, but somehow I went deeper into the heart of these pieces than I've experienced in quite some time. Covid ? Isolation ? Who knows. But I'm grateful to you and others for listening to what my heart and mind hoped to connect to people with.
