In the spirit of the season ... Very Happy

Here's about the only thing I ever recorded ... that I was really proud of ...

Recorded 10 yrs ago ... this season ... while my wife was doing her sub-internship in Neurosurgery (and was never home) ... at Jackson Memorial (UM School of Med).

In a one bedroom, third floor apartment ... about 1 mile from our friend Rick Alexander's home ... right off Hollywood Blvd (South Park Rd) ... across from the police station Oh Well

This was my "final exam" ... for Jerry Byrd's correspondence course ...





White Christmas

Silent Night

Blue Christmas

What Child is This

Silver Bells

Much as I abhor Christmas music, Rick, this is always a pleasure. Thanks.

Man, what a beautiful family. They're really growing and getting better looking all the time. Won't be long you'll be able to bring them to the Joliet convention.

I love most all Christmas music and I have heard it longer than most of you, but still never tire of it, except Felice Navidad. Winking

And further I enjoy the annual Christmas music festival of Rick. This is becoming a must to hear every Christmas. Cool

Merry Christmas to all, Smile

Nice pix Rick.

Everyone is looking healthy and happy - that's good.

It's nice to capture on film those nano-seconds in time when all the kids are clean, smiling and not fighting! Laughing

Berryville is a very beautiful locale, and the Aiello family makes it even more beautiful. It is obvious that Rick is very proficient at two things, and I know Crissy helps with one of those. Winking Beautiful family and beautiful guitars.....what could be better??

Rick, thinking ahead about all of us baby-boomers, please consider designing a guitar for my twilight years - we could call it the Bedpan....... Laughing

Happy holidays to each and everyone on this forum. I don't post often, but I read and learn daily. Dan
