Funny
how this month has slipped outta here...or maybe by me getting older
and being a grown up time just zips by every year. Over the years my
music horizon has grown but when it all boils down for me it comes back
to the basic in regards to where my love for this type of music came
from back in the late 80s - early 90s. This is Volume 3 of a four
volume set. These songs are coming from the albums...
Windham Hill Sampler '86
The Narada Collection, Vol. 2
Blue Chip
Windham Hill Records Sampler '88
Flying Home
Slice of Life
Passionfruit
There
were other albums of course over the years that set my foot down the
contemporary jazz/new age/fusion path and I have never looked back. But
these albums take me back to a time when I could go into a record store
and see rows and rows of cds of artists from Earl Klugh, Mark Egan, The
Braxton Brothers, Will Ackerman but alas, those days are long gone. You
will not hear their music on the commercial airwaves and the only way
to find their music now is online stores or satellite radio or internet
radio which now that I think about is a blessing. But it's still sad
because there are people out there that still do not know about these
gifted artists or do not have access to the web. I know I can't stay in
the past but sometimes it's cool to vist there.
Hope you get a chance to take you some "me" time and kick back and relax to the sounds of these artists.
Be Blessed, Be Safe
& Have a Wonderful Weekend
