“And So The Wind Blew...“ by Gene Koshinski (FULL VERSION)

Please use headphones for best sound quality (some of the soft music and low frequencies cannot be heard on computer speakers) “And So the Wind Blew...“ by Gene Koshinski Performed by Gene Koshinski and Benjamin Toth Recorded LIVE (unedited) in Weber Music Hall on the campus of University of Minnesota Duluth on April 8, 2014 Sound recording by Don Schraufnagel Program Notes: And So the Wind Blew... began with the idea of composing for my personal collection of wind chimes (outdoor chimes, not mark trees).
