Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

Post by chamelion »

Hi all,

On Christmas eve I felt the need to slither into the studio and noodle around with my favourite Christmas song. You can listen to it here.

Happy holiday season everyone!

Cheers,

Geoff

PS: If you missed it last Christmas, you can hear 'A Twisted Carol' here.

OK. I dropped a tear listening to this..

It's not because I hadn't heard the tune 1,000,000 times-- and 500,000 of those hearings have been within the past two days...

...but because it came from you-- it was shared by you, a fellow Unicornationer (Unicornationite?)

I was moved by the "simple phrase" you offered. Beautiful alterations, wonderful phrasing-- and above all: your sincerity and generousity of Spirit.

Goeff-- I shall never forgive you for this. "Although it's been said many times, many ways", I'll say it again: thank you for the blessing!

:P

Really nice, Geoff. Well done. Made me want to grab my soprano and play along. Maybe I will. Later.

Way to go, Geoff.
Actually, methinks you're already there. :lol:
That's probably the most sublime, relaxing and melodic stuff I've heard this Christmas.

Home-made noodles, huh? I can't wait to taste the sauce.

Sorry James, force of habit. It was just meant to be a heartfelt season's greeting from me to the gang.

Cheers,

Geoff
