A Christmas Tale

Here's a little tune I wrote and recorded over the festive period. With only three acoustic instruments, it hopefully wasn't too much of a challenge to get the mix right. The octave mandolin plays the tune, Irish bouzouki on accompaniment, and an acoustic bass guitar in the second half.

Thanks for listening and may I wish you Merry Hogmanay and a happy and  healthy 2012!

    I'm not sure what he means by "nice banjo", but it is a nice song.  Nothings gets in the way of anything else, and the mix works nicely.  Well done.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Very pretty tune Bill, I like the blend of instruments you have here. I could imagine Kate Rusby singing to this.

    Thanks for your kind comments. The tune came really quickly from just playing the first four notes - D, F#,A,E the rest all flowed from there. The little technical challenge for me was climbing up to the 10th fret and back whilst holding the rhythm. Kept me amused over Christmas!
