Oldie but goodie
I know i've heard this once or twice, but you sing it with more feeling. I really like this guitar style, too. You sure can play that thing.

Thank you, Roxy. I've been recording a lot of traditional songs this year and thought it was time for a different sort of cheery old'un!

Sweet!
What a sweet and clever old song--you really perform this with life and humor; I can hear you smiling in your vocals. I think you did a wonderful job with this one!

You're The Cream In My Coffee
I try to record in one take if I can so it sounds fresh to me. Sometimes, as in this recording, I hear something that makes me smile (the Worcestershire verse!) and that comes across in the vocal. Alas, I didn't do this song in one take! Thank you so much Michael for your comment. Encouragement always brings a cheery smile!

Jeepers, creepers
you do this good! And you should: isn't there something about old chestnuts? ;-) The recording of your vocal is especially warm and intimate. Thanks.
