The season of year brings to mind sights, aromas and sounds. This season it is uniquely true with faith, traditions, families, cities and nostalgia associated. For me it also brings feelings. Moods & Spirits of the Season is named to reflect this and offer the sounds to listeners to share from my own perspective along with accompaniment from the two other musicians.
