Hello kmysko, I listened twice to your nice and peaceful mix. Special mention to Arvo Pärt and to the french guitarist-improvisor Noël Akchoté.
Of course, loved also the Magritte' surrealist picture :). I just visited the Magritte Museum http://ur1.ca/6fed0 last month and the little house http://ur1.ca/6lp5k in Brussels where he lived from 1930 to 1954 and painted more than half of his works.
Thank you for your beautiful mixes and choices for artworks and happy new musical year !

Sabine, thank you a lot! As usual so glad to hear your thankful words and I appreciate it. I guess Arvo Pärt is one of the greatest composers of the century. I felt in love in Noël Akchoté improvisation and had never known that France has this hero! Just amazing playing guitar.
It is my little dream to visit the Magritte Museum. My friend also visited his museum at the beginning of last spring and presented me a huge album of Magritte art. Thus, I have a little piece of museum in my library ;)
Thank you one more time and have a quiet and comfortable year!
