I love Tim Janis' music! This one takes me to a moment up in the woods or a lake where I'm just taking all the scenery and sounds in quiet introspection. It calms me and helps me remember happy moments. Glad I ordered this.

Music to stir the soul!

"I had never heard of Tim Janis, nor his music until I walked past a booth of musicians at the Gloucester Waterfront festival a few weeks ago..two members of his staff were playing his composition "High Sierra" which captivated me immediately, I stopped and bought the CD from the nice young man selling them..who turned out to be Tim himself..chatted a few minutes and realized he was a very special person who had a great gift to give to the world in his music. The two musicians played another number from Acadia, I promptly bought this also, thinking Tim from Newfoundland..but no, from the beautiful seacoast village of Kennebunk Maine. On logging in to the internet at home I looked at his website and read the many amazing things he has done with his music in helping people with cancer and AIDS. I am sending two of his discs to a friend in England who is suffering from cancer hoping they will ease her days a bit. This beautiful music has the ability to lift ones heart and ease physical and emotional pain. I found myself so touched by it Im sure anyone who hears it will agree."

"Beautiful, pleasant, relaxing and so enjoyable. Lovely music. If you do not own Water's Edge by Tim Janis, I suggest that you buy it also and try to decide which of these two great pieces of music is the best."

"I first saw Tim Janis performing at an annual festival where I live. I was so taken by the beauty of the music so I purchased 2 cd's, including this one. I was amazed, to say the least. The music is so uplifting. Every time I listen to the songs, it's like I am hearing them for the first time again. I listen to this cd at night before bed, it's so relaxing. I highly recommend this, you won't be disappointed."
