The Music Aficionado / ''Pasionatul de muzică'' (pagină Facebook)

''Odihnească-se în pace, Ralph Towner. Unul dintre muzicienii mei preferați care au apărut la sfârșitul anilor 1960. Munca sa cu Consort a lui Paul Winter, cu Oregon, precum și albumele sale solo conțin unele dintre cele mai lirice piese muzicale scrise și interpretate vreodată. În loc de alte cuvinte, iată câteva exemple remarcabile din frumoasa muzică pe care ne-a lăsat-o:

The Silence of a Candle from the album Icarus by the Paul Winter Consort:
