Ocean Avenue Serenade
author: Sheetowind Banno
Like sipping an Orange Julius at a packed food court in the mall the sounds, smells, sites blend into what is perceived to be noise but is simply the Ocean Avenue Serenade.

A Classical Crossover delight!
author: Andrew Stranglen
An impressive collection of original tunes is gathered here by Geoffrey Lee, Classical-based fingerstyle guitarist.

Lots of short-forms here, but they are sections within larger works - (small poems), (Suite Alpujarra).
Nimble fingers to excite the listener of solo-guitar instrumentals.
