God Rest Ye

Here's a rock version I created of an old favorite. If you have headphones, you might like this! Enjoy, and a very Merry Christmas to all!

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Steve

PS I also made a backtrack that I'll be uploading shortly...

Excellent! Finally, a treatment that justifies the alternative title,
"God rest ye Jerry mentalmen."
That's one way to encourage the youngsters into church. I can just imagine Sundays with that soundtrack. Unfortunately, I can also imagine the response of the blue rinse brigade - heart attacks all round accompanied by, "whatever is the world coming to".
Let's have more of the same.

We actually played a version of this for a starter tune for church last Sunday. That was part of the inspiration for me recording this. The times they are a changin', my friend. Thanks for the kind word.

Yep it was Rockin' Steve! Not what I was expecting from you at all... I've already added it onto the GFB&B ChristmasRadio. Thanks for recording it.

Great stuff!

I love keeping people guessing! Yah, I'm a rocker, but I mostly record acoustic stuff.
