Well, day after day and year after year, the popular music of our time along with the classic melodic melodies were being offered a treatment like no other by the great orchestras of Surrey House. We are so very blessed to be able to enjoy the warm and delightful arrangements of such great musical songs. Please, support the beauty of pop orchestral melodies of Mr.John Fox,arranger extraordinaire. Thanks to the dean of easy listening instrumentals, we can "Escape," to a world of elegant timeless melodies and smile.
