After reading Josie's post, I decided to record this song for Christmas. I used a midi file and song the vocal. Thanks for listening. occ

You did it justice my friend, great job.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

I love Christmas tunes -- especially the wonderfully written ones. Hey, that is a perfect choice of percussion stuff. Thanks a lot for sharing this one. Lot's of good instrumentation choices in here -- plus good singing too!

Nice work. Voice as clear as a bell.

I always wondered, though, if in less formal settings, Herold Angels went by Harry Angels?

Nice mix and vocals.

I like the ""Baroque Hoedown" fills in the MIDI arrangement.

When I was younger, I had visions of a sky filled with angels singing "Hark!"

Imagine my disappointment when I actually paid attention to where the quotes were placed.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
