William Ackerman – In Search of the Turtle’s Navel, It Takes a Year, Childhood and Memory
William Ackerman
In Search Of The Turtle’s Navel (1976)
It Takes A Year (1977)
Childhood And Memory (1979)
All solo acoustic guitar. All on Windham Hill.
“A group of friends and informal fans got together and collected about $300 in five dollar bills to send me into a recording studio. I picked a studio out of the phone book named Mantra Studios (it was the 70s after all!). I walked into that room and made a record I called The Search for the Turtle’s Navel in two afternoons.”
– William Ackerman
turle’s navel has been a fave of mine for awhile.
i dont know why it doesnt get classed right in there with peter lang / basho / kottke and all of the other well known (and not so well known) solo guitar records from the period.
Gotta love the Ackerman! I agree with GTD fully.
whoa windham hill!
New to me + beautiful – I probably flipped by them in the past, scared off by their being on Windham Hill. I wonder what else I’ve missed?
Very happy to have found your blog!
