I'm so happy you like it, Cynthia.  All these positive comments really encourage me.

I'm soaking in the sheer beauty of this thinking about this overcast day, your kindness and the eternal beauty of your  music .

Thanks for your notes of encouragement and appreciation!  

Lovely tone, lovely tune even if not in the key you thought you might present it in.

Lovely, Jan.  And the timbre of that Stockard is so fine. 

Lovely on the baritone! 

Beautiful! Love this!

This is beautiful, Jan!

Absolutely lovely, Jan. You play in such an expressive manner.

Is that the Stockard I once knew?  Glad to hear that big baby singing.

Simply stated and as beautiful as I've ever heard it. Thanks for this Jan.

Thank you all for your kind comments.  I was reluctant to post this very rough audio, but thought somebody might like to hear it, so I'm glad I did.

Bob, I, too, like the contrasting versions of the same song/tune and think they all are played "right", no matter how different they are.  They're all members of the same family, anyway.

Shawn, I only have partial movement in my right shoulder, so I've adjusted how I play...I generally keep my right arm very close to my side and am one of the few people who prefer to play in a chair with an armrest!  Glad to hear yours is no longer "frozen"  (Hey! I think they made a movie about that!    )

Really enjoyed it.  One of my favorites for Advent.  I haven't played in too many months but now that my frozen shoulder is unfrozen this would be a good one to start working on.

Oh how very beautiful.  Thank you....

Very beautiful!!! Thank you Jan for sharing!!!

Jan, Nicely done.  I think the contrast between your version and mine is really cool!  One of my favorite things about music is how each of us can interpret the material differently

That's a lovely piece.  You really make the most that wonderful dulcimer's timbre with your inspired arrangement.

How very beautiful, Jan!   I love this, especially with the low dulcimer playing this somber and heartfelt carol.
