Best of All Possible Worlds
author: Janet Ollman
This is Chris at his best. I have had this CD for years and years and it continues to be my favorite. It's an old favorite. When I miss my farm in the Midwest, I play this CD and it helps ease the pain. I laugh and cry; thanks Chris. I enjoyed your performances in Bishop Hill Park on those Sunday afternoons years ago.
