Frank Chacksfield - Sunflower (1980)

Frank Chacksfield
and his Orchestra


Sunflower

Excelsior XRP-7006


Since we are rebuilding and refurnishing our house at the moment I hardly have time to post anything on the blog. Today I found myself a little spare time to relax a bit and listen to some music. I had bought this album a few weeks ago during my vacation but hadn't heard it yet. On this album Frank Chacksfield and his Orchestra play some relaxing arrangements of well known ballads. It helped me relax, I hope it will do the same to you.
