Some of the ‘old-timers’ have been re-releasing hits from the vault, so I thought I might as well join 'em :wink:
This one is from my very early days when I joined FourTwo (Neil) in a Christmas competition. I was way out of my depth, but it was an education worth its weight in gold.
I know I watch through rose-tinted spectacles, but I do get a kick out of giving this a spin every Christmas. OM aficionados might recognise my compadre Chris on fiddle. I tagged on a 3-little-birdies coda on the end (which Neil wasn’t having any of at the time), I think partly because I hadn’t played any guitar on the piece itself :roll_eyes:

Magic from the vaults.
:slight_smile: I sent Neil a message so hope he finds his way here - it has been a long time since we heard the magic of his indie-vibe music.

That was terrific Brian. Very you and very REM sounding. I don’t remember listening to it before so I’m pleased you’ve re-released it.

Hey,
I just have missed this one first time around as I don’t recall it. Good job guys!

Keep up the rock’n ways,

I had a nice, longish email exchange with him last month. He’s doing well and has been popping into the forum every now and again. I’d be surprised if he hasn’t already taken a peek here (Hi Neil :wink:).
@sairfingers, now there’s a band worth sounding like! I’m just thinking- I can’t recall ever playing one of their songs (2 Michael Stipe covers don’t count). Something for 2022 :smiley:
@LBro, and there was you teasing me about not paying attention. The inn is open again, although not a shekel to be squeezed out of the miserly guests. A couple of asses, but not a Messiah nor wise man between the lot of them :roll_eyes:

That had me grinning the whole way through. :grinning:

(And I liked the coda.)

I’ve not heard this either, but we’ll done. A bit of a downer, but many songs are. I’ve done a few myself.

Thanks for sharing yet more memories, Brian. I recall the song from back then, most enjoyable to give it another listen. And :+1: on the coda.

A first listen for me. As per usual, very creative Brian. Long may you continue to share your stuff.
