Album Description: Solo piano. 'Meadowloop' is named for a gentle, pastoral buggy-path that circles the Wawona meadow in Yosemite. The music is mostly Irish and Scottish in origin (with a brief foray into some old cowboy songs), recorded on the 1906 Kanabe parlor grand in Yosemite's historic Wawona Hotel. From the Artist: John Muir once wrote 'In the Sierra I sang and whistled [the songs of Robert Burns] to the squirrels and birds, and they were charmed out of fear and gathered close about me.' For me, music of the Celtic spirit is the best accompaniment for Yosemite scenery, and the old piano at the Wawona Hotel, which has been my companion since 1983, is the best instrument on which to interpret that music.
