MIRACLE

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We are finally done with this year's song. Alan literally pulled an all-nighter on Christmas Eve mixing and tweaking the final touches.

As part of a long list of firsts we had the distinct pleasure of using electric guitar and working with another musician, Brandon Durr. He was kind enough to come over on amazingly short notice and cranked out some sweet tunes at around 10pm Christmas Eve. The addition of his playing added a unique and wonderful feel to the song that Alan says he could never have done on his own.

The theme this year is miracles. You will need to unzip the song (sorry, its a hosting limitation) after downloading. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

MIRACLE
