Hi, Bud & Janice !:))
I do not think Janice
can do anything or anyone
wrong though she sings she´s sorry !
Her voice just exudes sincerity
and honesty !
Hey, what guy could be so cold
as to leave a woman alone
on Christmas Eve !!!!!!!!
Merry Xmas to you two too
and naturally I do wish
that the New Year brings you
even more innovative and musicfilled
moments (and new tunes!!!!) !
Cheers
Dani

Nice mood setting arrangement.
"Please let me come home I promise I'll never leave." Whoooo that's a loaded line, be carefully of that one Bud, or you'll never grow them white whiskers.
