Lovers’ Instrumental

lovers’ carvings by Bibio (download here) (Buy from Amazon) Had a great time at a wedding this weekend and this was one of the numbers played. When you go to a wedding where the groom’s in a legit band, you get great music. This tune is relaxing and lovely. I highly recommend it.
