...he'd hammer in the morning, all over this land -
Older listeners think Scott Williams is a fine young man performing classical music they can't place. Younger audiences find the harplike sounds of his hammered dulcimer a curiosity, until they recognize the strains of Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters.'
"It's fun to take a rock song and transform it into medieval style," said Williams, 33. "People look around and think, 'Is this what I think it is?' " - The San Diego Tribune
