Variations on the Canon by Pachelbel

In honor of my seester's birthday today I am featuring one of her top 3 favorite songs of all time!  She also loves Bridge over Troubled Water and One but I loved that she also has an instrumental in her line-up! 

I appreciate artists who keep the integrity of the piece while putting their own interpretation on it.  George Winston has done that with this piece by Pachelbel.  From the first notes you know the song and it is a comfort in its familiarity but you are taken on a bit of a pleasant side trip with Winston's variations. 

My imagination has run "wild" and I can see myself, perhaps my seester has done this, walking down the crowded and busy NYC streets (where she lives) with this playing on her iPod and transporting her through the crowds with hardly a glance their way as the music clears the path. 

Happy birthday Rebecca!
