pick of week
soothe your soul
Lucky me that I got to sit next to George Skaroulis at a lunch recently, and he shared this copy of Sanctuary with me. George composes beautiful, peaceful music that is played in spas and hotels and even at the Atlanta Humane Society to calm the animals. His soothing tones are just perfect for us humans as well to de-stress us as we enter the hectic holiday season. George has a new release for Christmas called Snow with his solo piano versions of traditional and original songs for the holidays. $16, which includes shipping, at Evzonemusic.com.
