"I cannot forget the sublime Desert Nights. That Spanish melody I love is once again coupled with images so achingly beautiful, matching the embellishments and gentle strumming, images emerging, receding, superimposing, transforming sun to flower, all to the gentle sounds of the slow Spanish waltz. And just when you think there can be nothing more lovely, the music and desert freeze simultaneously and the desert image is etched onto the screen. The music and photography of this Arizona journey is etched in my mind.    -Terry R.

"I would buy this DVD for the soundtrack alone.     -Charles K. 

"Each segment could stand alone,  but together they are REALLY something special. 
They compliment each other seamlessly. The sound is  GREAT & the color is vivid, but natural."   -Vince G.  

"How well this DVD shows the magical and mystical essence of Arizona with captivating music and  photography! Tucson Nights and Street Fairs also presents a look at the pleasant city life that one experiences here. It's like taking a trip through the unique places that Arizona has to offer, especially with the sunsets. Enjoyable variety...just beautiful!"  -Alex B.

"The energy of the opening segment captures and hooks one immediately; the pace of the music fits the quick visual peeks & teases of what is to follow.  I am usually annoyed by this quick cut-away style of filming, preferring to linger over the images, but knowing that I will see more of these things later appeases this viewer."    -Ellie S.

"I love the way each of the 24 segments has a different feel, and yet it is a cohesive whole. The range of music styles is impressive & the nature sounds of birds, wind and water are like counterpoint to the music.    -Barry B.

"The Native American-inspired flutes, thunder-evoking drums, pulsing water and moving clouds of Mt. Graham. The breezy, swaying music of Tucson Nights. The chilling winds and flutes of Chiricahua. The sublime drama, yet simplicity of the piano for Mt. Lemmon is evocative of the loss of its some of its majesty to fire. Hip country twang follows the hikers at Seven Falls, and the music at Tombstone evokes the allure of the Old West. At Sierra Vista the soundtrack rises optimistically with the lifting balloons. The sounds of a distant bugle in the wind, haunt the molar-like ruins of Fort Bowie, while upon entering Apache Trail, the music signals the transition from past history wrought by man to the present beauty that is of Nature's making.

Ah, San Xavier...the sky is just as I remembered and had captured in my still photos. 
The footage of Tumacacori is among my favorites for the beautiful compositions featuring the carefully-framed rounded forms of tans and whites. Cochise Stronghold has delicate flowing music to the simple elegance of a solitary plant silhouetted as if by Japanese brushstrokes against the mountainous landscape.

I wanted to freeze several frames to hang on the walls of my home."    -Terese W.

"I admire the nuance of the filmmaker, the attention to detail. Like in the Street Fairs segment where the camera finds hands choosing spicey condiments followed by other hands choosing native pottery. Each time I watch it, I see something new."     -Tom D.
