With Thanksgiving a week away can Christmas be far behind? As such I am dusting off my Christmas CDs but far be it that I would foist my taste on the reader. In a soft guitar genre I do recommend "The Charlie Byrd Christmas Album" recorded by the master in 1982. Some years ago a friend and I were in Dewey Beach, Delaware and sought directions from a bearded chap who was porch sitting at a beach cottage strumming a guitar. Some minutes later I was introduced to "the" Charlie Byrd and he gave me the softest handshake this side of a plastic surgeon. (Presume those hands were insured.) Charlie Byrd was a fixture at the Maryland Inn in Annapolis, Md. and other venues in the D.C. area.
