Awesome job! Loved the pickin’ and the grinnin’!

The audio/video effects were nice too. I’d like to try to work out something like that too at some point down the road.

Merry Christmas

Thanks! Yeah, my wife said the song was tough for her to recognize because the lead parts are so elaborate, so I wanted to start it off with something simple and close to the original melody.

It was tough to come up with something simple enough to recognize, but “Jazzy” enough to compliment Ben’s work. I sent the mandola part over to Ben before I recorded it. He said he loved it, so I went with it. :slight_smile:

LOL! I’m glad y’all are re-enjoying it. I’ve been so busy I didn’t have time to work anything up this year. I probably couldn’t even play these parts right now I’m so out of practice.

I’m seriously hoping that working so much now is buying me time in the future. :slight_smile: I’d love to be able to pick several hours a day.
