70 Minutes (24 Songs) of Meixner Musical Magic !!! Alex
Meixner assembled this compilation of songs that were recorded by his
father, Al, between 1970 and 2000 using the various groups that Al
organized. The current Al Meixner Trio is represented and also the
Meixner Kinder from quite a few years ago. Some tunes were only
partially recorded so missing parts had to be added. Alex then
digitally remixed and mastered the original recordings. He even used
his great grandfather’s hand written music as the background
behind the artwork. You’re gonna love this one ...
It’s quite a collection !!!
