This release (1999) from Don is a bit of a departure from his earlier singer-songwriter style releases in that Instrument is completely instrumental. It is a collection of all original acoustic tunes displaying Don's expertise on guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, Weissenborn slide, and banjeaurine. Many of the songs are in a traditional fiddle tune structure, although there are a few departures into alternate forms and time signatures, as well as some beautiful slow tunes. It's fun stuff - great traveling music.
