I don’t even know where to begin… holy cow Batman, I think they did it again. Too many words of praise would only diminish your creativity, ingenuity and musicianship. Very enjoyable you two. This really hit the spot. Merry Christmas!

[David L]

Wow! Wonderful! Thank you for sharing this. Seasons greetings to you and your beautiful, musical family.

[Billy]

Wow JFL, that just blew me away…
The song you played on the Tele, was that “the Skye boat song”?…
And just how talented is your Mrs…. wow, “blooming marvellous”..

Merry Christmas to you both.

Epic, Dawn and JFL! You and Basement Studios have rocked the Active Melody community yet again–to its knees. Such excellence of production, of instrumentality, of musicianship, the flair and panache in playing—Wowee, I am flabbergasted!! Accolades of the highest order to all the different musicians involved.
Thank you and Bright St. Productions for posting this gorgeous Holiday Movie. And now I finally know what JFL stands for!
Simply great. So entertaining.
Merry Christmas,
LRJ
P.S. The CEO of BSP may have to give Dawn a raise.

WoWza! I am floored by the incredible quality and creativity of this MADE FOR TV Christmas Special!!! You and Dawn are super talented, all the instruments she plays!!! I second what John H and sciencefiction (Larry) said above, I’m at loss for words that can’t even describe this exquisite performance, music and talking parts! I can only imagine all the work that went into this from practicing the tunes to the detailed video production! The video editing is a masterpiece, by the way, I watched the whole thing in awe and with a big smile on my face 🙂 We are lucky and honored to have you two in our group, THANK YOU for sharing your talents here, Dawn and Jean-Francois! 👏🤩🔥💛🎅🏼🤶🏽👏

JFL and Dawn – all the adjectives have been used up in the previous comments. I don’t think I can find the words to justify such a towering performance. I plan on watching this Sooooo many times. Thanks you.

This was a full scale production, so much content and thought has gone into the editing and filming of it. But on top of it, playing all the musical content as well as hosting. Top Class, beautifully and meticulously done. So much talent in one household. Thanks for the Christmas Variety Show, really enjoyed it.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful production. Highly entertaining. JFL, your guitar work is superb but Dawn stole the show blowing the low notes on “Your A Mean One Mr. Grinch”. 😉
Happy Holidays,

That was absolutely amazing. I can’t really think of the words to describe your Special. Hats off to you both. Thank you for sharing that with us. I hope you realise just how high you’ve set the bar for next Christmas.

PS I don’t think the Casting Director had a very difficult job, although in fairness she did have quite a lot of other stuff going on.

[Tom D]

That was very special. Loved the entire production from music, to set design, to banter, to appealing entertainment. Thanks JFL and Dawn for sharing that. I wish you a continued and wonderful Christmas and New Year.
