Happy Christmas!

Blogs are great. Not only do I have a platform here from which to say a big thank you to everyone who has sent me cards or e-mails or gifts (they add immensely to the joy of Christmas and I‘m very grateful). But I also have an opportunity to offer a little something in return.

I love carols. Always have. So I thought I’d play one for you. Snag is, I haven’t yet sorted out recording at Dixon Hill. So I’m offering you an old and rather rusty recording from the days when I was first learning to play piano by ear. It's my simple arrangement of Infant Holy, Infant Lowly (click to play).

It's unsophisticated.  In fact, if you listen carefully towards the end, you'll hear Joss padding through the room!  But it comes with sincere thanks for your support of Dixon Hill, and with wishes for a happy, holy and peaceful Christmastide - whether you celebrate the season or not.
