I enjoy your fingerpicking style Mr. N. It is very unusual the way you hit certain strings twice really fast with one finger. I tried and could not copy it. It is very unique and cool.

Todd, I bought four of your works in the past 6 months or so. I must say that "Brotherhood of the Moon" is by far my favorite, although the others are good too. There is just something about the mood (perhaps the weather effects and tone) that really affected me in a deep way. It is very meaningful music.
I read that your Ancestor CD will be similar. That is great news! I look forward to all your new things as they arrive at my doorstep.

Please forward to Mr. Norcross,
Can you paint faces too? I love your paintings a lot. My daughter paints too. I would buy a portrait, if possible? I will send my email to get a price quote. Thank you!

Ryotoshi Norcross,
Where did you get that name and what does it mean? You look way more scary and skilled than your teachers in bujinkan.

The part on "Encounter with Smaug" where all the gongs crash and build towards the end gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. That is by far the best training song on Taiken 3.

I don't like modern guitar in songs much. I think that "Celtic Shamisen" is his best work. It is mature sounding. The use of the solo violin and backing string ensemble is a perfect match for up and down chord changes of the Biwa. Brilliant!

I like Rocking with Gods. He adds the electric guitar solo in there and it makes it soar. That one and the guitar on Island Adv. is also really well done.

Yeah, they are showing up on mine. My favorites are "death by Shinobi, Island adventure, Kyoto Nights and Flutes of Endurance". Awesome tunes!!
