So, this is the second song I wrote during the Song Challenge time window.... The first, Christmas Without You was Pat's idea, and this one is mine. Pat and I did the writing on both. Merry Christmas From Kandahar I spent quite a bit of time on this, and have put together a video as well. Some info on the video. My Nephew, Sgt Kris Huff supplied many of the pics in this, so you'll get to see him and his wife (and dog. The second verse has pictures from my childhood, including me and my little brother as well as mom and dad. Video for Kandahar The tracks are: Drums Real drums nashville outlaw 10 snare ride Bass 519 Electric guitar 1705 (comped from 3 tracks) B3 686 Piano 1729 Acoustic guitar 2 tracks of Taylor recorded live 5 vocal tracks of 3 lead/layer and 2 harmony Enjoy....and be sure to hit both versions...audio and video.

Scott, Ace, Space: Thanks...
just thinking back to what it was like being on duty and not able to go home to family at Christmas while in the USMC.
Glad you all liked the song.

Herb, The song is very well written and very well sung. The audio and video production are very well done. This is a great tribute to our troops so far from home. Thanks for coming up with the idea and following through. Tom
