ONCE IN A VERY GREEN HILL

More free Christmas music on the front page?  'Fraid so.  The Green Hill label, which specializes in Smooth Jazz, New Age, and romantic instrumental music, has put together a free "Christmas Music Sampler" that you can download through Amazon.  Me, personally, I'm not the biggest Green Hill booster on the planet.  But I do like a few of their artists--notably Jaimee Paul, Leif Shires, David Arkenstone and Lori Mechem.  And others certainly disagree with me on the rest.  But your opinion is the only one that truly matters and this is your opportunity to sample them all (or a good bunch of them, anyway) at no cost.  Get the "Green Hill Christmas Music Sampler" at Amazon (be sure to use the "get mp3 album" button).  Then, if you hear something you like, check out the full holiday catalog (its quite extensive)--much of it specially priced for a limited time--at Green Hill Music.
