My favorite Christmas song from church...

Excellent singing.

I look forward to seeing you at The Garage with Riley!

Dude, is that a bajo sesto guitar?

[Bobbylegs37]

I really like this song and how the vid goes from light to dark. that's a cool guitar too.

[TimothyTheGreatest]

Awesome! I would love the tabs and lyrics if you have them. I am your newest fan!

[batfancy]

Nice to meet you. I don't have any tabs or anything since I don't really know how to read them, but I got some used kitchen stuff- see below...

all the best,

TE

Does he sell Cds???

Brilliance! I almost had a panic attack while watching Lord of the rings. I liked "Chrystal" and "Cold mountain" way better. Oh you had some great songs in those movies!

[batfancy]

me too man. Going to the post office is stimulation enough for most days. Friggin Hobbits and what not..

Was it getting dark?  That could be the reason for the relatively low video quality.

[mh605]

Thanks for this. It was cool to see Martha's Vineyard, since I've never seen it before. Especially cool to see it in the winter, when most people never get to see it.

I've always liked "Star in the East." One of my favorite Christmas songs. Thanks. You always pick such interesting ones.

"Lord of the Rings" is much better as a book than as a movie (though the movie's not awful). I read the whole book about five times, I think. I could even write in runes. Knew a lot of the poems,too.

Oh this is so beautiful. Last year, your "O Sight of Anguish" was so beautiful, I wanted to learn to sing it. This year I'll try to learn this one. I love a minor key.

Also, the quality of the video is very impressionistic--a cool effect. What is that light in the background? A fire? Or is it the sun rising?

[batfancy]

It's a Christmas tree someone put out on their dock. I think the video quality is just low for some reason, but it does look kind of cool...

Tim, you are the brightest and best of the sons of the mourning. (Or the darkest and drear of the sons of the joying?)

[marisbosquet]

Oh, what a Christmas present! Thank you!

About going from frozen woods to a soggy beach: We do it all the time here at the Jersey Shore. There's Allaire State Park, minutes away to the west, and the Sandy Hook holly forest, between Sandy Hook Bay and the ocean.

Your music makes the world a better place to be. Thank you.
