        Due to family commitments I’ve not been able to put together a Christmas song in time for this Challenge. I have practiced a number, at the moment away from home, which I will post in time for Christmas. So, my huge apologies to you all, I will now enjoy all those who did make the deadline.

          You will be missed, Richard.
          I have a little Christmas surprise for you in my post. Looking forward to your Christmas contribution.

                    No need to apologize…it happens to all of us sometimes. I know I will look forward to hearing your Christmas song. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

                      It’s a busy time of the year! Will look for what I’m sure will be a tasteful and masterful piece closer to the Holiday. All the best! 🎄
