Really nice song! I’ll bet that all the references are actually true from your memories!
I liked the easy, simple arrangement, and your gentle, smooth vocal marries up to it just right and gives the seasonal feeling perfectly.
Great Christmas contribution! Actually, it is largely real memories. The "friend from the war" was based on my dad's lifelong friend who he met in the merchant marines. And, it was actually my grandfather with the super 8 projector.......no candid shots with that thing....and the light bar was so wide it was hard to get down the hall. Great days they were. Wish I could time travel back for one night! Take care. Greg

Cool version of the song Greg. Bing Crosby popped right into my mind when the song started. Small cottage fire going, Lots of snow out the window. Sitting in the a big chair with a pipe with all the family around. I think you nail the song. Well done. Super vocal...

Greg, I love everything about this song: melody, style ,mood, instrumentation, etc. Your vocal performance is top notch. I agree with what Will said: "You have an instant Christmas-hit there!"

Wow Greg, I almost missed this one! I love the way you have "experimented" with your vocal on this! This is kind of a different side of you with less articulation in your vocal delivery, but it is perfect for this one! You are one of my favorite vocalists here and this is great! Thanks, Torrey

Greg,
Very nice original Christmas song! The atmosphere of Christmas is out very well. Good melody. The second chord is very nice. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

This so sounds like it could of or should be the backdrop to a Christmas movie. It just has "that" perfect sound. Man, you nailed it. Love the song! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Excellent Christmas song with perfect and peaceful jazz arrangement. Your voice is smooth and warming like wool socks in these snowy days.

Greg,
Just one stunning song after another.
A beautiful write. Like a Norman Rockwell painting put to music. Classic.
I could see (hear) any number of top crooners cutting this. And none would do it better than the writer himself...
The perfect BAND. Super vocal. Excellent mix.
I become a bigger fan with each song...
fj Thanks so much Floyd!! I never thought of the Norman Rockwell comparison but that was pretty much exactly what I was going for. Merry Xmas my friend! Take care. Greg

Greg, My apologies for missing the appropriate time to listen to this song of yours. I was helping out so much with testing the new version of BIAB, that I didn't step into Users Showcase too much in December. I guess I'm getting a head start on Christmas for 2019! This is such a great write and equally terrific presentation (once again!). In a phrase... Very, very listenable music All the best for 2019, Noel
