For today’s installment of SS…over the last few days Ive been listening to the music of William Ackerman and thought I’d share โฎ๐
William Ackerman (born 1949)[1] is an American guitarist and composer of acoustic-based instrumental music. He founded and ran for many years the influential New Age record label Windham Hill Records. {source}

Closed my eyes and transported back “home” to Ireland, so soft and tender.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the music Anna โค๏ธ
Linda it was so calming. I had never heard of William Ackerman, I shall look him up on Amazon.
Loved these! I have so many Windham Hill CD’s on my wish list at Amazon. My Pandora New Age site has a lot of that music on there. Haven’t heard of him in particular. And there was no guitar music on my list. I’ll have to check out a couple of his CD’s. Indian flutes and cellos have been my sounds of choice lately. We have a friend at church named Chris Green who plays the cello. He does special music every now and then. He has a concert coming up. You would have found out Good Friday service interesting, I bet. There was lots of quiet, meditative time. And while that was happening, folks from our bell choir had their bells upside down and were running their finger around the bowl of the bell. It made the weirdest humming sound. Felt very Buddhist. And at the end of each meditation period they sounded one of the hanging chimes. It was pretty atmospheric and cool. By the time we left the sanctuary had been stripped of decorations and the lights had been turned out. It was very effective.
โบ๏ธ I’m all over the music map…..since I’m participating in the meditation experience I’m on a New Age kick……would love to have been there….
Oh I love him, Linda… it’s been a while since I’ve listened to him.. thank you for bringing him back to me ๐

I see the name, and I think, I know that name, and I listen to “The Moment,” and I think, I know that. But not from his specific albums. Did he appear on any Narada CDs? Such peace in the music. Are you familiar with David Lanz?
Fim..l have no idea…and no I’m not familiar with him, but it will check him out!!!!
