what a terrific choice of music -- it truly is a "keeper" cd to share with frie
author: Pegi HarwoodThe music is mellow but from the heart and a great tribute to the talents of the performer --- it is soulful and zingy at the same time --- truly a reflection of the heart and soul of the artist and how he shares his visions -- a classic and rare performance..... 2 thumbs way up!!!!
