Windham Hill is a music company, label, specializing in what is commonly known as New Age. I'm not sure about the New Age tag. Artists are William Ackerman (last post), George Winston, Michael Hedges, Scott Cossu, some others. Ackerman started the label. He and the others mentioned have moved on. They are the old guys.

Ackerman is a guitarist, carpenter, apple grower near Middlebury, Vermont, in a small township name Windham. I imagine there is a hill nearby.

We were in that area once. There is a store there that was the "model" for a Norman Rockwell painting called "Shuffleton's Barbershop." A painting given as a gift to Leslie by her brother Barry and hanging tonight over our fireplace. We found the store front.

We also found a sign to what once was a home of Robert Frost. We stopped, walked back in a direction on a trail and came upon a house, at that time in some disrepair but lately resurrected by some writer's group and The National Park Service. We walked around the house through tall grass. Saw a screened in porch that surely was used as a writing area.

George Winston's best album is one called "December" and the best song on it is "Thanksgiving." Other albums are Forest, Winter into Spring, Autumn. For Scott Cossu stuff, he teamed up with a gentleman by the name of Eugene Friesen for an album titled "Reunion."
