CONCERT OF ANGELS. In 1993.
Although he was quite well known before that date.
I liked his gentle style:
Since then he Has produced 26 Albums: and more on the way.
He is a very Gentle performer. And, I find the stresses of the day
GO; if I listen to Asha. And it is a very difficult to choose, from a great library of Ashas’s Music; ?? just which track to choose??.
Try this : Put in: Asher – Kyrie 5.26
He not only writes and performs His own songs: But He is a Also a great Folk Song Singer;
and: When he sings Folk Songs; He adds something different: Listen to him sing FIELDS OF GOLD.
The EVA CASSIDY version is hard to beat.
But just listen to this: Put in: Asha
