Dan, this is beautiful! The vocals are fabulous, and the backing track is perfect. I flipped back to the credits to see what that great piano RealTrack was, but it was you...that's really, REALLY nice. If I have a complaint it's that the song is too short. Ha!

Dan & Amber ...

Simply gorgeous in every aspect. As Bob said, soothing. I think I said everything I felt in those few words. Everything beautiful sums it up from here.

I've been in your part of the country in winter - mid-December a number of years ago. The wind can cut you in half!

Best to you,

Alan

Well, thank you very much, my friend. I just downloaded the whole album and have a couple hours in the car today, so it's Christmas albums from you, Greg Johnson, James Delsono and Gayle Snyder. I'll be in the slow lane with a smile.


Enjoy whatever happens!

HA! The last couple have been long. And to your credit, they Never seem Long. Talent.


A stunning vocal.

Beautiful piano. When the BIAB instruments are added, they blend in perfectly.

The mix is exquisite.

LOVE the lyric economy.

One Hell of a New Christmas Song!
WOW.
