December – George Winston

December 9, 2009November 24, 2009 John Christmas, December, George Winston

I have loved the George Winston December Album since it came out. There are some beautiful pieces of music. Christmas music is some of my favorite music, and these treatments by Winston are just fabulous in their simplicity. I hope you have four minutes to take a break in your day and give a listen, and happy holidays to you all.
