Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
With Christmas coming up, I wanted to play this song as a special at church. But
wasn't able to find any tabs or chords for it. So I was able to get 'em by ear.
So, here it is. Any comments/corrections are more than welcomed. And if you're
