[acousticland]

I had listened this song sung and played by the Nightnoise. Do you know them ?

[jimguitarfan]

@acousticland No, I haven't heard of this group, I'm afraid. Thanks for viewing !

Jim

[0ldfinger]

Had to listen again Jim - this is so beautiful.

[jimguitarfan]

@0ldfinger I appreciate that, Martin. Glad you enjoyed it, as it meant a lot to me for obvious reasons.

All the best for 2011 when it comes for you and yours !

Jim

[0ldfinger]

Hey Jim, beautiful playing and a great sound. I'm sure Jake had a great life, but you get so attached to pets, specially dogs, that it's hard when they go. Have a great Christmas my friend.

[jimguitarfan]

@0ldfinger Hey Martin, thanks for your generous comments, both about the music and my old friend Jake. It's appreciated . Hearty Christmas wishes for you and yours also, buddy. Keep penning those enchanting tunes !

Cheers, Jim

Dear Jim,

this music is so beautiful ! Thank you so much for this share. Stored to my fav section by return. Often the so called easy tunes go straight into our hearts best !

I recognized Jake and Ziggy both and can feel the relationship you have or have had to them. My Dachshund Lissy today is 18 years old ( !!! ) and hopefully I will not being forced to dedicate a tune for her too soon....

Merry Christmas and all the best to you and yours from Lemgo/Germany

Bernd

[jimguitarfan]

@porsche217 Hey Bernd, thank you very much for your great comments! I'm flattered, for sure. Your little dog is certainly a "grand old lady" and you're lucky to have her still with you - she must be a very happy dog ! Thanks also for the kind words about Jake. I hope he would like the tribute. A Happy and Peaceful Christmas to you and your family (and dog, of course!).

Jim

[Mr5stevenr]

Lovely video, Jim. And you have chosen some wonderful pictures to accompany the carol.

[jimguitarfan]

@Mr5stevenr Hi Steve. Thanks for watching and the appreciative comments. Cheers, Jim

[jimguitarfan]

@josie2u2 Thanks for the great comment, Josie - also the kind words about Jake. Ziggy's a different personality again - more boisterous and headstrong ! But I guess they're all individuals, like people :o) Happy Christmas ! Jim

[amccann7]

Gorgeous song Jim. You nail these traditional tunes! Very Beautifully orchestrated.

Amy

[jimguitarfan]

@amccann7 Amy, I'm very glad you enjoyed it. I tried to do the song justice in a simple way , so your opinion is highly valued, of course. All the best for Yuletide to you and your family - and I think there may be a dog or two (? !) Jim

[SabMei1]

You live in a beautiful landscape Jim. Thanks for showing us the beauty! I´m sure Jake will have a look from heaven and takes care on Ziggy. What a cutie!

Never heard this Christmas carol - thanks for the fine playing!

Enjoy the holiday season with your family - Sabine-)

[jimguitarfan]

@YaGonk101 Hi Ben. Thanks for the kind words about Jake. Yep, Ziggy is boisterous all right, but hopefully she'll settle down eventually ! Glad you like the video and music choice as well. It's the Ochil Hills in the video....the ones that they never mention on STV Weather !! Festive Wishes to you and yours also. Jim.

Very peaceful Jim and the personal side of this makes it all the more enjoyable.

The pics are wonderfully... I have a little tear in my eye!! You know I lost a good friend too this year!!! Merry Christmas!!! Hug Sarah :-)

[jimguitarfan]

@sguitar Hey Sarah, thank you for the lovely comment, as always ! Yes I saw that there is now a lot of snow in Germany and Austria, as I was looking at the ski reports (I will be going to Austria in January so glad the big snow has arrived !!). Thanks for the kind words about Jake, and I'm sure you know the feeling yourself this Christmas. Frohes Weinachten ! A Festive Hug, Jim :o)

[jimguitarfan]

@sguitar Hey Sarah - "Snowflakes are Dancing".......great way to describe it ! Take care, Jim
