Always good to watch, listen and learn from Mr Mead's confident playing and solid interpretation, but the music itself is a bit thin, like eating only romaine lettuce, or something.

Euphers may better be served by continuing to dredge up works from the past and adopt them for the instrument.

I like the piece. It's very American and has a bit of a cowboy tune feel. Steven's confident and effortless playing makes the piece come to life.
