about

This acoustic guitar album features some of Finnigan's most relaxing and meditative compositions, with the exception of the hit (two-handed tapping piece), "The Woodcutter".

"Finnigan's music is at times soothing, uplifting, exciting and melancholy."
- Corry Anderson-Fennel, The Now

"Finnigan specializes in pretty guitar tunes that could tame such savage beasts."
- Steve Newton, The Georgia Straight

Original liner notes:

On many occasions, after a performance, I have been approached by someone who wants to tell me about the stories and images they have seen while listening to my music. I consider this to be the ultimate compliment and it is the reason behind naming this new collection of compositions "Stories Without Words".

Mastered by Bud Bremner at Coastal Mastering
Graphic design by Gary Dunham at Mercury Graphics

Special thanks to Fabrizio Alberico, one of his L-model
guitars can be heard on "Time Alone" and "Ann's Dream".

friends and fans. Thank you all for your encouragement.
