Dave!
Once again your music has really, really moved me. I think what I enjoy most about listening to your playing are the never ending plethora of interesting voicings that you play. There is a lot of use of space and during that space I mentally find myself anticipating what harmony is coming next, and it is always a pleasant surprise.
Really nice Dave, you are trully a very talented musician.
Thanks, Dan

Well done. That particular tune has always seemed to me a balance of "happy" and darker bits interleaved. Your arrangement does a great job of never straying too far from the darker side. Crowning touch is the rather ambiguous ending.
And the intro is great!

Fantastic Arrangements. Elegant and Beautiful. I surely wish I could purchase sheet music to these Christmas arrangements.

Let It Snow was such a nice arrangement Dave. Your voicings are always so well chosen and move so beautifully on your ballads.

Thanks Tim, David, JD and Custard. Here's a leadsheet on my Oh Come All Ye- I hope my funky writing is readable. It's pretty basic. As with a lot of my stuff , the "sounds" or colors are in the voicings. But hopefully it can give someone a base to do their own thing with it. I have that Cm7/F | % | Am7 | % | thing as a turnaround to the top. I also use it as a vamp at the end. http://www.divshare.com/download/16366915-5ee

Dave, Loved Holy Night. The ending was "inviting". :)Dan After quite a few re-writes and edits on this, I'm sick of futzing with it. This will have to do at least for today. My version of "We 3 Kings of Orient Are" or in my circles "We 3 Kinks can't tune a guitar"  Just kidding, I dig them, well at least a small bit of their stuff. http://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris/we-3-kings
