Traditional music from the Piedmont region of Italy. It’s a lengthy collection, covering “best of” tracks from previous CDs. Many tracks are actually 2 or 3 tracks in one. There are some good guest artists as well. It’s all good, but check out the following…

1. Bouncy folk vocals/happy trad. dance.
2. Old-timey dance. Almost oom-pah-esque.
4. A tinny carnival sound w/vocals.
5. Instrumental dance, mid-tempo.
7. Scottish-flavored waltz.
9. Warm male vox, strings, mid-tempo.
11. Bagpipe, female vox, strings later on.
13. Happy accordion/pipes dance.
15. Bright accordion/sort of a French café feel.
17. Sweet mazurka w/a nostalgic kind of romantic air.
18. Almost silly-happy pipes. Fun!
19. Great piping. Mid-tempo.
