I will be honest and say I’ve never heard his music before. I looked him up because he passed away on February 4 at the age of 80 and he was a very popular and in-demand trumpet player (http://www.salon.com/2013/02/11/jazz_pioneer_donald_byrd_dies/). He played ‘hard bop and jazz-funk fusion. Here is some music from a ‘Best Of’ album.

Annie’s Song —John Denver
I have a deep and abiding love for this song. I think it’s because of my mom. Thanks to hikergirl for pulling out the John Denver tonight.
Don’t even get me started on this man. I still swoon for him and his music. (I also love Sarah Mclachlan’s cover of this)
I am looking forward to winter and some snow and the smells of cinnamon and pine and Christmas movies and specials. So there.
