I say how much I am enjoying listening to Bilbo's Great Adventure!
It is significant achievement (in addition, I'm sure, to being
a great labor of love). It is the first large-scale musical
interpretation of any of Tolkien's writings that relates his
mythology to "indigenous" American folk and country
music traditions. It also conveys (at least to me) the gentleness
and unhurried pace of Tolkien's prose. A delight to listen
to.
