Last weekend we got our first snow of the year...a sign in this part of the country that Christmas is just around the corner...so here's a 3/4 time Christmas lullaby sung sweetly by my favorite female artist...if you listen then thanks so much....this one's for Marty and Floyd in particular...Marty, this one has no modulations...who'd a thought?...and Floyd this one's not five minutes long in fact no where near it...a Christmas miracle indeed!

Dan, this is beautiful! The vocals are fabulous, and the backing track is perfect. I flipped back to the credits to see what that great piano RealTrack was, but it was you...that's really, REALLY nice. If I have a complaint it's that the song is too short. Ha!

Ron...thanks for your kind words...that's the first time I've ever had a complaint that a song of mine is too short...hang on...I'm going to post one for Christmas that's 6 minutes long...so we'll have to average the two I suppose smile thanks again...Dan

Dan & Amber ...

Simply gorgeous in every aspect. As Bob said, soothing. I think I said everything I felt in those few words. Everything beautiful sums it up from here.

I've been in your part of the country in winter - mid-December a number of years ago. The wind can cut you in half!

Best to you,

Alan

Well, thank you very much, my friend. I just downloaded the whole album and have a couple hours in the car today, so it's Christmas albums from you, Greg Johnson, James Delsono and Gayle Snyder. I'll be in the slow lane with a smile.

Oh, wait, I forgot to mention how blown away I am by Amber's vocal. Dude, always a treat hearing you folks. Merry Christmas, Dan and family.

HA! The last couple have been long. And to your credit, they Never seem Long. Talent.


A stunning vocal.

Beautiful piano. When the BIAB instruments are added, they blend in perfectly.

The mix is exquisite.

LOVE the lyric economy.

One Hell of a New Christmas Song!
WOW.

Beautiful vocal that is perfect for this song. Gorgeous harmonies. The background cello complements both the vocal and piano.

Dan, you have created a beautiful Christmas present for us. The vocals are exceptional as is the piano. The cello was a wise choice and fit perfectly. Nicely executed and Happy Holidays to you and yours, Tom

Hi Dan and Amber,

Well, I totally agree with the compliments on your beautiful singing and harmonies.
The title of your song certainly applies to your singing! I'm impressed!!!
I also enjoided the cello. It played so serenely. Loved it very much.

I think you can rightly be very proud of this achievement.
Thumbs up!
Hans

Amber’s lead and harmony with you are also pure as the light.

This is lovely in sound and spirit, Dan. The piano and cello are stellar too.

Merry Christmas!
