Richmac...

when I saw you had posted a Christmas song, I listened half expecting to hear lyrics containing the line "TUI Turtledoves..." LOL

(People who haven't been here for long won't know what the heck I'm talking about, but I think you probably do...)
wink

I always enjoy Christmas music, especially when it is original music created by my friends! It's been a while since you've posted, so it's good hearing from you again! (oh.. and an early "Merry Christmas" to you and your family!)

Hi Rich,

nice to have you back.
This is totally fun. It's how I imagine Christmas in New Zealand.
Enjoyable listen.

Thanks Mike for the listen and Christmas greetings. Hope you have a good one.

Thanks Charlie. Best wishes to you.

Thanks Pat. I had to restrain myself from putting Tui's in there somewhere. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thanks Guenter. Yes nice time. Beginning of summer. Snowy Christmas greetings to you.

Hi Joanne. Merry Christmas! When people ask where
I'm going for Christmas i think to myself home cause it's the best place i know.

Hi Rob. Thanks. Yes this is my cheerful Christmas offering. The Christmas song i wrote first (may post it later) was so gothic and morbid i had to write this one to cheer my wife up. Best Christmas wishes to you and Anne-Marie.

Good top hear a new one from you. We've been in and out quite a bit lately, too. Mostly health-related issues.

Merry Christmas and may God bless you too Rich.

What a cleverly written off the beaten path Christmas song. And the arrangement with that banjo was perfect.

Much enjoyed!
