* * * The Concept Album Project * * * * *
Inspired by this guitar and some amazing musicians I've decided to produce a concept album based on an adventure around dolphins. The album will include songs and instrumentals tied together with a narrative. I will use the album as the sound track to the full build video of this guitar (these videos seem to get more views that usual). I also would like to make it available on Bandcamp for free streaming or a purchased download and all profits will go to charity.

I'm an amateur home musician/composer/writer working on my own, so it would be really wonderful to collaborate with other musicians on this project. An opportunity to create something from scratch that we can all be proud of. If you would like be involved please contact me either by the contact form on my web page or by a DM on Instagram (links below).

I'm afraid there will be no money or payments from this project, music is my hobby, not my profession.

Reviews:

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read. Well done Dave
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2023
This is a well put together story. Lots of seemingly unconnected plot lines all come together in a very satisfying conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real page-turner
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2024
With this ingenious basis for a mystery story, D K Dickens has has come up with a plot that will keep you riveted till the last page. Unputdownable.

YouTube comment: I've read it and really enjoyed it, a real page-turner. It's got everything, romance, gangsters, nasty big Corp, suspense all wrapped up in a great plot. You might know that a musician and guitar maker would also make a great author. Well done!
