[@TheRealAndyMcKee]

You hit it on the head, brother. Don and I actually laugh at these comments that are like "Oh Andy smoked Don on that tune" or "Don crushed Andy into tiny dust particles on that tune". There isn't a shred of "one-upsmanship" or competition when we play together. Of course a lot of guitar players can't be in a room the size of a gymnasium together wihtout having their egos clash, but Don and I are in this for the music. For the record, I wouldn't be writing the music I do without Don. Andy

We love you bro!

Don Ross.... ...AND Andy McKee?! Someone tell me why the world didn't implode from this awesomeness?!

[@gildaring]

Just amazing. The sun just rise in the middle of the night. If you are feeling low, this song pushes all worries away for a moment

[@ohue]

This song makes me dream of a peaceful world...only wish it could come true!!

[@willdobson6091]

I remember downloading this album on iTunes while I was a freshman in college. I listened to this album on repeat! So glad these classic videos are still up on youtube after all these years.

[@MRgotnolife]

Don Ross AND Andy Mckee...TOGETHER? How is the world still here? I thought it would implode of sheer awesomeness if this happened...

[@rabbitsrock07]

The imagery this piece gives me is fantastic. I wrote an entire one and a half pages because of it. The title fits so perfectly that it's hard to imagine it named as anything else. I can practically see the dolphins jumping out of the water, and then slowly down and floating about lazily in the water. I can't stop listening. It's purely lovely. :]

[@lenlaine5b]

I think its cool how they both alternate between rhythm and lead melody, since they are similar in style. Don Ross is a little bit more of a funk person, and Andy Mckee, is well, Andy Mckee. But its nice to know that they can both lead and support each other so well. It really combines both of their styles. Just purely awesome to listen to.

[@nancyl2]

A song from my son through my Angel from the UK. What a delightful surprize. Thanks to Andy and Don and to you "B" for your casring and compassion and sweetness sharing this magnificent tune Dolphins with me.

[@pbhushanbsb]

has been 8 years that I've been listening to this .. still divine

[@MrConeman]

I love how they both flow so well from playing rhythm and lead off of each other. Great.

[@Tiish92]

This is the tune you listen to walking down the road and the conrete jungle around you turns into a fields of joy and beautiful scenery .. EXTREME EPICness !!!

[@ChrisVoltage]

I saw them here in Germany yesterday. Just awesome. Thanks for the great evening and the great music, guys.

[@Manjaa75]

Don, Andy, thank you for another GREAT(!) piece of music. Simply wonderfull.

[@nancyl2]

Heavenly to my Soul. Lovingness to the Angel that shared this gift a week ago. It has been a true blessing to not only me but my son(s) ;) The one in the other dimension and the older one here on this earth plain. I keep hearing the words, "Mom I got that Dolphin tune stuck in my head it so beautiful." Peace and LOVINGNESS to the WHOLE. :-)

[@qwe0607]

Hip Hop has taken the true meaning of music, Don't let real music fade no matter it is metal, accoustic, classic, or rock dont ever let them fade

[@HumanPatriotism]

And again, greatness is still unappreciated. These guitarists are some of the most talented out there. Keep making "Real" music, for REAL music lovers. Much love

[@IhEaRtAxEl8]

even the greatest artists and musicians are not appreciated. but that little bit of people who do love them are the true fans and lovers.

[@maxb561]

the most beautiful melody ive heard in a while

[@swarley121]

this is what all music should be like. here is to very talented guys just jamming together. all these people that disliked any of andy's or don's songs needs to stop listening to lady gaga and justin bieber. that is nothing more than auto tuners and flashy lights get off it and listen to some really music. where people put all there heart and sould into every song.

[@Aikidopoi]

GERRRSHSHS AHH!! I wish I was able to do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! words are not enough... been listening to Andy for years now... never get tired of this.

[@st170ish]

[@marklastes312]

I could be having the worst day. This song has pulled me out so many times.

[@Shho13]

I can't stop listening to this song.

[@skbirdie510]

I actually smiled as soon as I heard the first few bars. This is real music.

[@linalikesreading]

My favorite, it makes me so happy.

[@parishlarry21]

Such an awesome piece honestly I cant stop listening to it.

[@nancyl2]

WOW this was posted on my Civ/.Navy sons birthday Dec.28. Synchonicities just a shouting out from my little crossed over son through the hands of My Angel from the U.K.

[@akaki0498]

日本人です。 私の父がこれを聞いていて この曲がとても好きになりました。

[@sivichkiqt]

marvellous and extremely beautiful composition performed and re- arranged by two of the world's greatest (or greatest worlds) masters of acoustic guitar.

[@isabellanakahara]

[@jessewest2109]

[@doctorgarbonzo2525]

May Music ring Grace into our Troubled World

[@mikevestin]

This will from now and on be my "wake up-song" in the morning. Couldn't give the day a better start, eh?

[@rishonline]

[@myguitarstyle]

[@Lanning9]

[@TooShort5640]

i watched all of these videos and yes, they are amazing, that goes without saying. to me, the greatest part is to see how these to brilliant musicians are perfectly in tune with each other. it is seemless. amazing

[@tomlazymusic]

[@vcMalice]

Was 17 when this came out. Loved playing metal but have been playing fingerstyle for 14 years now since I saw this. Thanks guys.

[@PsiBrr]

Hi guys... You've performed another fine piece together. I'm glad you guys hooked up to perform together. The distinct mastery you both bring to the guitar is evident in this piece, and I REALLY appreciate neither of you lost your identity in the song. Thanks... Bob Hunter

[@ovationsensation]

Wow!! If this song doesnt uplift you, or inspire you, then you really have a problem........Great talent.

[@kennn1234]

I'M SEEING THEM TOMORROW. in ottawa. i've been looking forward to it for like five months. i'm sure it will be nothing short of genius.

[@Tom7Sawyer]

I was in a terrible mood. This song alone made me ultra-happy.

[@TheNutbar]

These guys are probably two of the best folk guitarists in the world, so seeing them do a collaboration is just purely awesome.

[@PeterPetahPetah]

Andy Your Are The Best!!! i totally fall in love with your music!

[@Misiek1919]

amazing is not enough... there are no words which could describe this

[@chris6770]

[@AceholeNinja]

[@mongomusic]

i can't describe this one with words...

[@KennethLinders]

this reminds me of the days when my dad still lived. Howmuch fun we had together.

[@MarkGuitar]

I cant get over the 'head' melody of this tune, its so beautiful. It makes me wanna break things :D

[@djb0622]

have you ever loved a song so much that it hurts?

[@OJBuyer]

This by far has to be the most melodic song that is on "The Thing that Came From Somewhere" simply beautiful. They both are in perfect sync with each other

[@fretsofthebeast]

these guys are my idols man. simply unbeliveble what u can do with a guitar

[@mufasamusic]

Very nice. Mike Marshall is great and it's great to hear these two contemporaries jam on this.

[@peterng20]

You and Ross created a nice blend and harmony in this piece. That takes skills. Awesome duet.

[@newshoespro]

[@JoMoMoss]

WOW!....these guys are SO! good and a true pleasure to listen toTHANKS!!!

[@SanatoZen]

Just love you guys, "great" is not enough to describe your talent.

[@smallw33n]

Amazing. Pure talent and passion.

[@musitar]

I believe Mike Marshall and Darol Anger co-wrote Dolphins back in the mid-80's, performing it on the album Chiaroscuro. It is such a beautiful composition, and Don Ross and Andy McKee certainly do it justice here.

[@discworldhero]

it astonishes me how they can get such depth out of the guitar. its one thing learning something like this but completely amazing coming up with such imaginative and complex harmonies and riffs.

[@Online8D]

my absolute favourite from the album.

[@dboyd1089]

wow... wow, wow, WOW! you don't even need lyrics because it's just such wonderful guitar playing that u can hear the lyrics in the strumming of the cords... amazing stuff

[@RustyCyler]

The two masters together !! thank you guys ! 5 stars. great tune. Thanks rpoland and candyrat too.

[@MihaZ]

I saw Ross, Mckee and Dufour live in Montreal in June. You will LOVE it! Have a great time Icoping =)

[@MeownaMeow]

still listening

[@og_jakey]

candyrat studios are home to my favourite guitar players. Don Ross , Antoine Dufour , Andy McKee. But especially antoine dufour. His songs really project the emotions that he wants to portray. He writes a story with every song he plays. And the others are just brilliant aswell :] Thank you all for making such good music :)

[@EtherealBassist]

Stunningly beautiful. And these guys play real well together!

[@sonofhamp]

You guys area all a breath of Fresh Air in the World of music. Great musicians playing Great Music. Keep doing what you do. Oh, and Andy... keep the Hair growing man :)

[@dudedaman4]

best song of the candyrat videos. by far
