My annual new composition around the holidays. Usually an upbeat tune, but took a bit of a different path for this difficult year. For all my Hangout friends and the rest of the Hangout crowd, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or whatever you might celebrate. And whether you mark the season or not, I wish you peace, and a safe, healthy new year. In Double C (gCGCD).

The A part brings smiles. If there weren’t troubles and trials there would be no need for hope. ??

This was a dandy Rick! I thoroughly enjoyed what sounded a workout for your fretting hand. Great melody, and the minor shift just embellished it. Merry Christmas my friend.

Thanks Greg for the kind words. Nothing like the workouts I've seen you go through.
And thanks to you too Lew for that very nice comment.
Happy Holidays to you and I hope things get better for us all soon. Looking forward to a mask burning party in 2021!
