Silent Night: Merry Christmas 2011

I have been playing around with recording software, and I made this audio Christmas card for visitors to my site.  Thank you for supporting my music by performing it around the world and making donations to maintain this site.  I am truly blessed that so many talented strangers around the globe choose to bring my music to life.
