What is the hardest xmas song for you to play and what makes it hard for you ?

"Oh, Holy Night!" ("Oh, Bloody Hell!" is more like it.) This piece can be a bit difficult to master at the end of a stressful workday. I have been picking it out without aid of tab or notation. Actually, that's incorrect. I have notation for Xmas songs written for Hammond organ that I bought at the Xmas in July sale at the Minonite Thrift Shop last Summer. But it's in the key of G, I think. Don't matter. I can transpose.

I don't play organ, though.

Its the 11.5 month span that makes them hard to get back to, 'here comes santa claus '
in july?
no Organ? what do you do with your feet, then?

Greensleeves arranged by Mike Stangeland on Mandozine was a little tricky, but now I got it and is a beautiful song, and fun.

Mandroid,
What does Mandodebbie do with her feet?... Hmmm...I really don't know how to respond to that query. It could be taken too many different ways.
