I'lle be home for christmas ...
I'll Be Home for Christmas is a Christmas Carol recorded for the first time in 1943 by Bing Crosby The song has since become a Christmas standard

it's an arrangement for Robin Methlie's guitar, which I found on You Tube and played with ear because I did not have a score or tab

Special dedication to Alfredo, who is an oficionado of jazz guitar ... and who made me know SC some time ago ;)

et bon Noel à tous ,....de France

I really like your touch on the guitar - i think we should record something together...if you would like to?
Are such jazz style songs your favourite things to play?
Very nice..

...No,I just like jazz especially in the standards of the years 30-50 ... but I'm not very good in jazz guitar :(

in fact I am amateur "generalist" and good in no particular style ;D
I like ALL styles of music (except the RAP) ::)

..... but it would be really a pleasure to make a song with you : I listened to your JUxbox and you really have an exceptional voice

I would gladly do with you a song of the years 30-50, a  little in the style of thefirst songI had deposited on SC "the folks who live on the hill"
here (for exemple )

outstanding guitar picking my friend, a real pleasure to listen to...
your voice is well suited to the song, I would have liked a bit more vocal
but thats just me being picky...

Cheers

for Ronnie

I wanted to do the complete song ... but there I was in the countryside without the means to record ... maybe I would do the song version with guitar, when I'm back home ... just for you dear Ronnie ;) ;D
