kleermaker are you joking? the videos you post are the best solos ever! the first vid I've seen like 1000 times. I've got the song on CD, it's with Carla Olson on "Too Hot for Snakes". that's the best ever Taylor solo!

It was indeed meant ironically, Amused. This Winter solo is so sad and melancholic. If you're depressed and can't feel your hidden sadness anymore, then listen to this music and you might begin to feel it and can recover. If you're not depressed, watch out! Listening to this music could make you feel so sad. But it's of such an uncommon beauty that it's hard to resist listening. The very best music is always melancholic and about deep anguish and at the same time about the love of life, about this double feeling: a profound sadness mixed with an attachment to life. In his best moments Taylor expresses that double feeling and tells us what love and human destiny really are. That's what makes him so special to me.
