Season's greetings, everyone.

While everyone is happy celebrating the return of "Drama" "In The Present" tour, and since I am too far right now to attend any of the shows, I thought I would better try and play it instead, so here is what came out. Merry CHRIStmas to you all!

Dear Jim, Tony and John

Thanks for your comments! It's a tough one, especially on those fast triplets. Now that I have seen some recent footage I see Chris uses some different fingerings, but some parts are somewhat altered compared with the Drama version. Also the very last suspended B on the bass pedals doesn't really exist on the studio version. If it exists it would sound an octave lower and it's comming from the organ, maybe. I got it from one 1980 boot where I heard it clearly coming from Chris' pedals and thus it sounds on that octave since that is the bass pedals range.

I wanted to make a xmas song , maybe Run With The Fox or something from Swiss Choir but so far I haven't had the time for that... Anyway we have the "Messiah" and some flashing lights that could serve as xmas decoration :)

Merry Xmas! "eat , be glad and drink the wine"
