Sorry to throw a wrench in the gears, but "Little Toy Trains" is not in the public domain. It was written by Roger Miller, I think in the 1960s, so it would still be under copyright protection.
Thanks to everyone who contributed, these CBN albums are my favorites.
just downloading it with my antique comptuter, should be ready for me to listen tomorrow ^^..!
top christmas present i guess;
many thanks Steve and all for your great musique; have all a merry Christmas;
take care,friends.
you guys rock!!! great mix of styles. well done steve-o.

Merry Christmas All !!!
Captain Nemoff.
Just finished listening and so many differant songs its really long . Well done everyone and Happy Holidays.
At Steve's request we added The Silent Christmas, I had heard that people in Newtown were taking down Christmas decoration, I played the first half of an old song and had to quit it just floored me. We may have a heavy heart this Christmas but for many the pain will last forever and I'm sure every Chistmas in Newtown will be Tough.
Many thanks for allowing your song to be included RTZ, we should all enjoy Christmas but think about those who are suffering in a positive way and try to support them and remember ones who have gone, i know people who volunteer to hand out food parcels to the homeless, the emergency services are working overtime to help people in the west country who are being flooded out, my mother is very ill and in pain but i will of course try to make Christmas as nice as possible for her... what else can one do? I played her our Christmas album the other day she really enjoyed it! (-:
Just want to say its an honour to have you, RTZ, and Steve, as friends.
Steve, ah hope your mum is OK. Glad she enjoyed album. She must be proud of you, (and not just for album) :)
And, yes, you're right, Steve. Let's not let sadness overtake joy. Those poor weans that died have given a few short years of such joy, to parents who will now relive every blessed memory of them, in every moment of their short lives. May their faith see them through :)
R.I.P.
Their is alot going on in my family right now I won't get into just want to say take care and Happy Holidays guys. Merry Christmas Nation.
Hope all works out OK. Merry Christmas, RTZ :)
