	Sounds great The backing strings are a nice touch. I've always thought that 'sleeves melody was beautiful, and it's great the way you branch out from it. Your playing still amazes me. Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

	Great arrangement! You can always tell when someone loves a song that they play - it can't help but come out in the sound. I absolutely love the layers you built into this piece. Check out my latest song called The Broken Doll's Waltz

Great arrangement!
Thanks so much notso, how precious you are for coming by so much!

This was fun when Jam pack 4 started to materialize in the orchestration. Mixing
up with violins, oboe, cello and french horn I felt made it more interested than if
I stuck with just violins and cello.

Thanks

	always great guitar Great guitar playing as usual and I particularly liked the way you worked the melody. The orchestral backing was nice at times but seemed a bit distracting at others. It's a lovely piece of music that brings some fond memories to mind. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

	Bill.... that guitar of yours is an extension of your soul. I feel it. The world would be a better place if everyone could just stop for a moment and hear you play. Another fantastic piece by the acoustic master here at MacJams. Check out my latest song called Mama Cries - Album Version (MJRF)

	Fantastic! This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. It's what it's all about. Your guitar picking is great as usual. I think you have my favorite acoustic tone on Macjams. It always sounds so crisp and natural. This song almost made me tear up it was so beautiful.

Respect!
Not sure what happened then - sent a comment and it disappeared
into cyberspace! In case it doesn't magically appear:

Bill, this is beautiful! You have reworked a standard and made it a real
antidote to all the dark stuff happening in the world at the moment.
Betsy sounds better and better with each new song. This was relaxed
and relaxing - clean and wholesome - open and joyous. We need
more of this in the world.
Respect (and seasons greetings to you and yours)!. Neil

	Gorgeous This is so lovely, Bill. Your artistry, as always, gives vibrant life to each song you play. Your arrangement is really nice on this one. The guitar is center stage with a soft cushion of strings. Just a beautiful rendition of this favorite Christmas song. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	I liked the orchestration. Of course tiler's guitar can stand on its own any day, but I think the backing is sweet and not intrusive at all. A gorgeous arrangement. Check out my latest song called Tango Macabre
