Yes, It's hard to believe but...around here it's Christmas in August.

This is a remix and redo of an older song. New style, instruments, singer.

This is the COOKIN country blues rock shuffle. Due to the way I rendered the tracks I don't have the track numbers for this. Using Utility tracks rather than rendering it from Real Band. However, opening it in RB indicated the following tracks, not all of which, made it into the final mix.

Bass: 539
Piano: 2639/1549/2225
Guitar: 2436/4248/3610
B3: 4379
Fiddle: 2120
drums: pop shuffle snare groove
I'm using Kontakt for the bells and chimes
Solaria on the vocals and harmonies.

The Best Christmas

As always, Comments are welcomed.

Lyrics:

The Best Christmas

Copyright D. Martin & H. Hartley

V1
I don't need to be on Santa's Christmas list.
I don't need to send a letter to jolly old St nick.
I won't ride the polar express with all the boys and girls
You hold my ticket to a better world.


Chorus
The best gifts of Christmas are all free.
You can't find them under any Christmas tree.
When you whisper “I Love You”.... right in my ear.
You gave me the best Christmas gift this year.

SOLO

V2
I don't need to see Santa with a long white beard.
You make my day & night just by being here.
When you hold me close, in a lovers embrace
I love the way you put the smile back on my face

Chorus
The best gifts of Christmas are all free.
You can't find them under any Christmas tree.
When you whisper “I Love You”.... right in my ear.
You gave me the best Christmas gift this year

outtro
Yeah you did....You Gave me the best Christmas gift this year
Oh oh yeah ....Merry Christmas to you dear!

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
