I love this song, and your straightforward performance of it is about as close to perfect as I can imagine. I stumbled across it only yesterday and feel blessed to have found it. Thank you for sharing, Mark.
@ConwayBob Thank you, Bob, for the kind thoughts. So glad you "stumbled" in for a listen. For some other straightforward Christmas music, you should check out Mary Chapin Carpenter's Christmas CD. It has some real gems. All the best to you and yours for the holidays and coming New Year. Cheers. ~ Mark
Thanks, Mr. Rudy. I got to admit that I'm a sucker for the sentiement expressed in this song. I want to wish you the very best for the season and coming New Year! ~ Mark
Thank you, Michael. Don't know about that singing stuff, but anything good coming out of Michigan, like the writing of Christmas carols by Mr. Alfred Burt, must be related to the water. Gotta love them Great Lakes! Stay thirsty, my friend. :-) ~ Mark
You performed this...........perfect ! Making up my list of carols and I'm starting with this one. Thanks my friend and as Ringo(the little drummer boy) would say: Peace and Love, Peace and Love,Peace and Love. Sir Winston of Rum,Pum,Pum,Pum.
Thank you, Sir Winston, my friend. Can't wait to hear you caroling, caroling, caroling. And as that other little drummer boy, Gene Krupa, said, "Iswear, those are not the kind of cigarettes I smoke!" ~ Mark
Nicely done !
