This recording, coupled with Ave Maria, was originally released as a CD single in 2006 (Ragged But Right RBR 301) under the name Paul Mast with the Kevin Sanders Band. This song, written during a road trip to Colorado and based on a dream I had during the trip, is a traditional sounding Christmas waltz. Since I didn’t have an instrument or recorder with me, I wrote down the melody as best I could and spent the entire trip singing it to myself so that I wouldn’t forget it.
