 Gordon, 

I got your message on your recording system.  Thanks a lot.  

I haven't figured the message route as yet.  Believe me, I am stone age.

Merry Christmas

Wow Gordon!  You blew me out my front door.  Thanks, I needed to get the mail anyway.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!

PS:  Beautiful instrument.  Tell you what.  Trade you, straight up, four student dulcimers for your one.  Deal?

Lisa, I can hardly believe that you were even born 56 years ago let alone attending kindergarten. The song sings so well in German doesn't it?

Excellent! I can imagine in my mind the German and English troops singing this. Each language has it's own beauty. Thanks for sharing!

You know Gordon, 56 years ago when I was in kindergarten in public school in NYC, our teacher Mrs. Minz was very musical and played the piano.  She taught our whole class to sing Stille Nacht, in German ...we were all only 5 years old and none of us could speak a word of German!  But we learned it.  Amazingly, I can still remember every word, and I very much enjoyed listening to you sing it.  Takes me waaay back.  smile
