'm dying to know what would make a talented guitarist like Bill Perry put down his instrument for 20 years. A classical guitarist who took a two-decade hiatus from music, Perry has resurrected an obvious love, and "A Christmas Carol" is the pleasant result. He's imbued his own signature into such Christmas classics as "White Christmas, " "Little Drummer Boy" and "Joy to the World." Unlike other formulaic holiday collections, however, he's wisely included five of his own compositions, the first of which is appropriately titled "Prelude/Resurrection," exultant in mood as if he's returned to a bygone place.
