It's Almost Christmas

[PhilHarmonic]

And so is this!

A little festive tune that I threatened a few weeks ago to pop up for you.  No lyrics but ideas welcome as appropriate!  As Neil Innes once said, ''I've suffered for my music, now it's your turn...!''

Thanks to Rick B for his kind assistance in getting me through the 'link' wobbly bits.

Obviously, I hope you like it but, more importantly, please all do have a jolly Frostie Christmas time and let's do it all again next year.

Cheers

Phil

I knew this was going to be difficult!  I'm rubbish with anything other than two tin cans and piece of taught string!

If this time is also useless, I'll ask Rick B - aarghh!!

Sorry, forgot to add that I loved your 'lyric' piccies - utterly beautiful.

What with you and Pedro providing such incredible offerings, I genuflect in your joint presences.

Who needs another Christmas song anyway? LOL

But we shall try anyway - watch this space.....

Must remember the old carpenter's trick - measure twice, cut once!

it's lovely x

I thought that was really lovely! A minute into it I'd forgotten that I was listening to a Friends of Frost* thing and just thought I was listening to something festive that's, you know, more "official". Well done!

[PhilHarmonic]

Thank you kindly ladies.  So glad you liked it.  Considering I haven't got a clue what I am doing it did turn out OK.

'Official' though... :oops:  I had better be carful what I pop on next time - lot's to live up to!

Good work Phil, enjoyed that. Very well done.

[PhilHarmonic]

Why, thank you kind sir.  I have been told that in the 'surround' version one can taste mulled wine!!  And, if I recall, that was what I was drinking at the time of noodling about with the sequencer to get something going  (although mid-summer for mulled wine is somewhat getting into the spirit of Christmas a tad too far!

As a piece it has lived and breathed for about fifteen years but I never knew what to do with it.  So thank you one and all for giving me the nerve to ''go public''.  But I don't think I'll give up the day job just yet.
