FIGA Magazine Review "I can promise you, your toes will tap the ground with precision as you listen. Currao executes with a right hand that can either be clean and delicate or precise and exclamatory"
EDDY DAVIS, Woody Allen's musical Director "Mike is a very daring banjoist and has taken on some tough pieces on this CD. He has captured the spirit in his renditions. Good job Mike....Get busy on that next CD"
BILL LOWE, Gulf Coast Banjo Society President "One of the most terrific CD's I've ever heard. I am constantly playing it, and have listened to nothing else in the past few weeks"
FRANK ROSSI, Editor of the Resonator Banjo Magazine "This long awaited CD demonstrates Mike's versitility and mastery of the tenor banjo. Way to go Mike....."
