Title: Nine minutes of harmonica?????????????????
Product review: George Winston's work is always a pleasure to listen to. But I must take issue with his decision to use 8 minutes and 55 seconds of the 29:08 minute CD for, well, harmonica. Now, I like harmonica around the campfire or anywhere outside - live harmonica's different, and can be soulful and plaintive. I even own a harmonica (but don't tell my former choir director that). Solo harmonica on a recording is the equivalent of fingernails on a blackboard...The "My Country 'Tis of Thee" was effective - but would have been better played on the slack-key.That being said, the piano and guitar tracks are lovely, and carry a message of hope in this time...Kudos to Mr. Winston for putting this album out and reminding us that beauty exists despite horror.
