In the Bleak Midwinter - sung by Alun Rhys Jones

Your comments appreciated as always. Thanks - ARJ sings an all-time favourite Christmas carol, included on his solo CD "Second Time Around". (Guitar tuning DADGAD) Words were written in late 19th century by Christina Rosetti and are as poignant as ever today. Absolutely everyone knows the tune, from schooldays or elsewhere.... Just once a year the opportunity comes around to give this lovely carol an airing, for just a couple of weeks in December, then it's back into mothballs again!. Trouble is... the years are starting to roll by ever more quickly and before I know it, BMW (a.k.a. Bleak Mid Winter) is ready to be brought out again, dusted off and tweaked, ready for playing out again. Seem very strange to be uploading this in July!!!
