SOME QUOTES FROM THE PRESS:

"...not just another banjo-banger ... a consummate acoustic musician. In Arizona, Joe Bethancourt is arguably the acoustic musician."
-Larry Jolly: ACOUSTIC MUSICIAN

"Bethancourt is a traditional musician and raconteur, or storyteller, whose one man show is an acoustic review thru stringed-music history and a trip thru America's own rural and rustic past...some of the songs are associated with the instruments he uses to play them, but not all are tied into rural and early American traditions."
