This compilation is one of my favorites of the Winter Solstice
series. The music is not really oriented towards Christmas Carols,
and I really appreciate that. This one has a wide range of instruments
from harp and solo guitar to the wonderful duet between Keola
Beamer on Hawaiian slack key guitar and George Winston on played,
plucked and bowed piano. Anything by W.G. "Snuffy" Walden is great.
I wonder why he doesn't have his own CD? This is an excellent
selection of music for the winter season without being typecast
to a specific holiday...
