Hi, John !

I liked your Christmas tune !
To me Christmas is a somewhat
difficult time as my dear late wife
is not here with us anymore, but as you
say she is an angel now and will
be with us during Christmas (and every
other day also) !!!:))

Have a Good, Nice and Merry Christmas, John !

Cheers
Dani

Hey John
Wonderful bluesy Xmas tune. It made me smile on this wonderful Saturday morning. Love the video too..

Hi John,

What a great composition. My feet started tapping on beat 1 of bar 1 and didn't stop until the end of the song. This is a really solid write in so many ways. I love your creative use of rhyming in the lyrics! This is a great example of how to use variations of AABA form very effectively.

"Excellent"!

All the best,
Noel

Hi John,

Exactly.

Guenter

Great job on the song and great job on the video John.

John,

Enjoyed the song - and really like your choice of backing. Seemed like the instrumentation is too far in the background - or the vocal is mix too loud in comparison. You've got great instrumentation going on there. It should be allowed to shine - along with the vocal. Let that vocal "sit in the mix" side by side with that wonderful instrumentation...

Cool Christmas song...

Cool song.... good all around job.

Thanks for participating.

Dani: Thanks for listening. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm very sorry to hear about your wife. Wishing you the best.

Joanne: Glad you liked it. I hope we'll be hearing a seasonal song from you. I'm sure you'd do a great job.

Noel: I appreciate your comments. Sometimes I think AABA can be more effective than verse/chorus structure, but it all depends on the song I suppose. Thanks for listening.

Guenter: Thank you. I always enjoy your very inventive work.

Josie: Thanks for your kind comments.

Floyd: Thanks for the listen. I understand your point about the mix. I did several mixes: vocal up, vocal down and decided in the end to go with this one.

Herb: It's been fun to participate. Thanks for coming up with a good idea. I've enjoyed your songs as well.

John
