Welcome!
I enjoy playing solo fingerstyle guitar in a relaxed style that incorporates the familiar melodies of sacred songs, Christmas carols, and a few originals, too.
I hope you enjoy listening to the guitar instrumentals I have here.
The recordings of the Christmas carols began as an idea to send a CD "greeting card" to friends and family last year. I've updated the list with some more songs and I invite you to share the music.
I only ask that if you do enjoy the music, please consider making a donation to your favorite charity if you are able. Especially at this time of year, any gifts we have are most appreciated.
Thank you,
Stan Stepnowski
