Magnificent stuff, this! For me, this evokes the the true meaning of the Christmas Season (Holiday season too yes, but it's really so much more).

This LP's "Skating" and "Greensleeves/What Child Is This?" also send shivers of joy down my spine anytime...but particularly now as we approach the season. There is still--and despite all the attempts by the PC crowd to quash it--there's something truly magical about all of it.

Moreover, Vince--and this album--are stil a big part of it for me.

@socsocben why?

They have this on United Airlines from Dec. 1-Jan.2.

@Perktube1 Yes, actual Bass. The "floorstanding model."

Interesting too, if I think about it: Can I recall any instances of "feathering" those low strings as was done here...also done on a bass guitar?

Not off the top of my head, no. Seems to me most bass guitarists I know were more about "flash".

And so now I'm almost wondering if this sort of subtlety isn't a lost art? And wasn't lost years ago...but I'm only reading the memo now?

@Perktube1 I lost track of things this year--the holiday bliss was blown up just a week after with other things.

...But I have to thank you for your well written words and wonderful sentiment here.

Helps to dull the rough edges, as it were.

VERY NICE :-)

Oh I just now saw the snowflake link! how clever! =o)

@Mulsanne917flatout Beautifully written comment.

Thanks for sharing your joy with us

Happy New Year! :)

[Mulsanne917flatout]

@Trund27 Thank you, T. :)

For me, this whole LP is right up there alone at the top of my list of the "best ever." And there are perhaps only one or two others from that same list which can also so easily "bring me to my knees" so easily, and cause tears to flow.

In this case, it's tears of joy, truly. I hear those piano notes echoing off the walls (and all the years) and it just folds in on me (in on itself?)...in a way both sad and wonderful at the same time.

Grateful for it.

@Perktube1 ...and you...are a poet.

:D

"Perktube", what you wrote is poetry and a testament to our Christmas youth when all was right and safe in the world.
