I've made no secret of needing to listen to Christmas and Christmas-adjacent music, even after Christmas. During the '90s, however, I was reminded that not everyone shares this view. One late December night at work, I had the Windham Hill compilation, "A Winter's Solstice II," on in the office. A co-worker who wasn't a new age music fan said to me, "I know you can listen to this type of music. You listen to it all the time." Turning to another co-worker, he said, "But you...How can you stand to listen to this?"
In perfectly timed deadpan, my co-worker responded, "Haven't you heard the screaming guitar solo coming up?"
A screaming guitar solo would sound interesting dropped into Metamora's "This Rush Of Wings,"--out of place but interesting.
