Played on my 2006 Reiter Galax/Bacophone-Plus Recorded Dec 2012. I pulled the strings "a litte bit" out of tune on the high parts - hope you can overlook that.

This is from the cd that accompanies Chip Dodd's book: The Voice of The Heart. I recorded it at home. The studio version is on my cd: Carry On John.

Recorded on a Goose Acres Tradition 12. This slow arrangement is inspired by the Dirk Powell/ Tony Furtado version.

I love this Christmas hymn. It was written by the late R. Fisher Boyce in a Middle Tennessee milk barn in the early part of the 20th century
