as I write this, I haven't heard the RT version yet... in fact I'm still listening to the first version.

This is one of my favorite carols, and your lovely wife did an outstanding job singing the melody (not an easy song to sing with those high notes, but she nailed 'em!)

Your intro mentioned harp, but I couldn't hear anything in the backing except the strings. My only observation would be to lower the strings until you can hear the harp, which would also serve to bring Shirley Louise's vocals forward.

Now I'm going to listen to your 2nd version...
