I have been out quite a bit this year. Between health issues, and an overwhelming work schedule, it has been a real challenge to keep up with all my friends here. I hope to do a better job in the future!  I finally got around to writing a new one for Christmas, called The Baby From Bethlehem. The BIAB RealTracks are listed below. I played the organ, and orchestration to go with it. I hope you enjoy it! The Baby From Bethlehem Here are the lyrics... The Baby From BethlehemCopyright Stephen W. YoungThe sun shines on the meadow And the dew is still on the ground There's a newborn baby crying And the angels are all around Was a long and dangerous journey That brought them to Bethlehem But every turn was part of the plan And the world would never be the same The sun shines on the meadow And the dew is still on the ground There's a newborn baby crying And the angels are all around We must always remember That baby from Bethlehem Mary's little boy was God's own son Sent to redeem us from sin The sun shines on the meadow And the dew is still on the ground There's a newborn baby crying And the angels are all around === And here are the RealTracks used... RealTracks in song: ~824:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Country Waltz Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 2450:Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm CountryWaltzBrent Sw 085 RealTracks in song: ~981:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryWaltzCleanHeld Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 1285:Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryWaltzBrent Sw 085

Hi Steve, It's really good to see you again. This song has such a beautiful overall sound; the way you sing it, the clarity with which the instruments play and the mix. I am always spellbound by your arrangements and their instrumentation. You have a wonderful ability to select and then to blend those timbres and instruments that compliment each other to the maximum. I've learnt such a great deal from listening to your work over the years. These lyrics are terrific, too. The way that you have chosen to have a verse with minimal rhyme serves to amplify the chorus. It also makes the verses sound like someone is speaking them rather than singing them (if that makes sense). Your lyric approach intrigued me and appealed to me. There's a great deal to like about this creation of yours I hope you and your family have a joyful and blessed Christmas, Noel

There are some postings you know before you open them that you know the song will be good and you're gonna like it. Such it is with a Steve Young song post. Steve, you have versatility, tone, empathy, whatever is right for a song, you always have it. The only thing I think you could do better -- is to post more often.
This is a beautiful song so nicely arranged and performed. Thanks for posting.

Beautifully done. The arrangement, the vocal,
the RT choice, the mix all come together
perfectly. It nice to hear a waltz and the
nylon string guitar works very well.
A fine way to start our morning!

I am running short on time tonight, so I will just say thank you so much to all of you who have posted such kind words about this song! So glad you enjoy it. It means so much to me that you all would take the time to listen and comment.
(Hope to be around a lot more now!)

Nice classic country sound to this.
Recorded and written well.
Nits: I think the vox are too up front and a tad dry. It has an almost overloaded sound to it...like the levels were being pushed due to it being mostly acoustic and wanting to get the volume up....
Love that B3 floating in the background. The guitar lead is too far in the back of the solo..... it should be the star and shine through.
Lovely work.
