well done Don. so very deserving of this award.

[@grandmasgarden6402]

Probably my FAVORITE all time guitar player and song writer! I grew up in Los Angeles, California, in the 60s and 70s with professional musicians in my family. From a young age I gained an appreciation of excellent guitar work. Love what you do, Don! God bless you and your family.

Love your music Don. My kids and I call you uncle Don because your music is so familiar in our house. Love from the US.

Bravo!!

[@deanwolfechannel]

cool. I've been a fan of Ross since the mid nineties in Toronto and he inspired me to explore solo instrumental guitar for a good solid year of dedicating myself to it.

[@davidtait5630]

Anyone know the tune Don’s playing at the start?

[@CanadaCouncil]

Hi David, unfortunately we don’t have that information handy, but perhaps someone will. It’s definitely a question Don Ross could answer.

It's called As Eddie Leaves the Building
