REMEMBER BETHLEHEM

Arrangement of a song by British songwriter named Jake Thackray. This song is not characteristic of his music but it just slays me. Tuning 1-5-1-5-1-3

A fabulous song, played very well. Would you supply a video of how you play it? Well worth the effort.

Thanks......I've sent you a friend invite. Once accepted I can make the instructional videos viewable to you.

A lovely interpretation of the song. But I do think your comments about Jake sound slightly dismissive -however you obviously like some of his output so perhaps that's not intentional! . He was extremely popular in the UK throughout the 1960's and 70's and though he faded from view in the last 20 years of his life there is now a new and very vigorous upsurge of interest in his work.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was aware of most of what you said except that I was dismissive!!! I read back through my comments but can't find what you were referring to. Anyway...be sure no dismissiveness was intended

I have always loved this song. I've been a huge fan of Jake's ever since I grew up and slowed down enough to listen closely to him. He was unique - capable of beautiful touching lyrics, great tunes and terrific guitar-playing - and being able to reduce grown men and women to tears of laughter. Thanks for posting the song, and especially for playing the guitar part so well and clearly - I'm inspired to have a go myself!!

Well said! I hope you do have a go at it and if you do please post it and notify me. Thanks for the comment.

@deemullins1: It is nice to talk to you. Your Uncle has some really good music and I really enjoy Remember Bethlehem. I will have to look it up on amazon and order. Thank you so much. Take care :)

I keep coming back to this lovely song. I notice that someone's since posted the original, but I love your slow take on this and this arrangement. I've sent a friend invite - maybe I could get a look at the instructional video.

@wildcatsenior2010 I'm Dee's nephew, Lee, look up "dee mullins the continuing story" on Amazon, it's for sale there and the song is on this re released album, thanks for liking my uncles music! Take care!

Does anybody know where I can find the Original version by Dee Mullins?

[Pathwalker444]

beautifully played and sincerely sang. I think jake would smile down at you for this,

This is a wonderful version of a beautiful song. It's just a shame you couldn't have played it at the recent Jakefest in Sutton Coldfield on 19th July!

Thanks for posting it.
