    Nice one Robert, I like the Bm change in the second part and the E9 too. Thanks.

    Also very nicely played. Not quite as "pretty" as the pretty one

    Very well played and the mandolin sounds fine! ( The guitar also sounds very good...)

    Both very nice pieces by Robert and CC. Robert has brought home a few good songs from that camp. You better go next year and get more.

    Well done as always. This one never seems to get old.

    Cosy and pastoral versions both, though I suspect the name of the tune might hint at an overdone steak with an overdressed green salad

    I enjoyed listening to this and watching the snow fall. Is this a recent video?

    Thanks Dennis, it’s Christmas day 2020. All of this flurry of vids are freshly recorded this week.
    I didn’t use a click track because it’s a sad tune -too sad to play more than once a year!

    Christian – I missed your rendition. Your tremolo shines on this one.
    Simon – I don’t feel a sadness in this tune.
