I Remember Christmas Eve

This was originally written in 1987, reimagined and recorded for Still Life. It features the incomparable Adam Rafferty on the guitar solo, I'm playing everything else: Drums, bass, rhythm guitar, keyboards. This is my first song recorded on my new DAW; I switched from Adobe Audition after 10 years to Presonus Studio One v2.6. The title is a little bit misleading, it's hard to have an instrumental Christmas song. When the song was originally written, it had lyrics, but they didn't work out, so I did it as an instrumental.

Adam has the guitar solo, I'm the drums, bass, keyboards, and rhythm guitars.
