Flamenco? Is that Spanish for "flamingo"?

"This CD features Anthony Arizaga playing Christmas songs on flamenco guitar. That is it in it's entirety. There are no vocals and no instruments other than the flamenco guitar. Arizaga is obviously a great guitarist, but it's pretty boring listening to somebody play flamenco guitar for 48 minutes (to me, anyway). Not much variety to it at all. The best track here is the "Do You Hear What I Hear/Little Drummer Boy" medley. I almost put it on a compilation CD I made for a friend of mine recently, but I cut it at the last minute due to time restraints. Here is the complete track listing for this CD:



1. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings

2. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

3. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

4. The Christmas Song

5. Oh Holy Night

6. The First Noel

7. I'll Be Home For Christmas

8. Joy to the World

9. White Christmas

10. Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

11. What Child is This

12. Silent Night/Away in a Manger

13. Do You Hear What I Hear/Little Drummer Boy"
