Ten Invitations


Ten Invitations from the Mistress of Mr. E is the fourth studio album by the Canadian guitarist Rik Emmett, released in 1997. It is the first installment in a guitar trilogy, otherwise known as the Open House Collection released merely six months before Swing Shift, which is meant to cover the basis of Rik Emmett's guitar teaching.
Unlike the next two albums in the trilogy, the album is instrumental. Shannon Emmett, Rik's oldest daughter, plays the synthesizer on the two part suite "Ascending in St. Anne's" and "Secret Wishes". She was only fourteen at the time.
