The very best version (and Christmas song)…EVER!!!!! You make our holidays the brightest and most enjoyable listening to this gem. Thanks again….and again….mark 🎄
This is a wonderful rendition of this song..Silent Night. May the meaning of that song dwell in the hearts of the people who play those fascinating instruments Lord..AMEN!!
Well David....another year has passed.....thanking you once again for the most beautiful version of this song....anywhere! It makes my holiday....more joyful. Don’t ever think you haven’t made a difference in someone’s life.......warmest regards and Merry Christmas.....mark 🌲😊
Absolutely beautiful. Reminded, with tears in my eyes, of my husband Dave who played pedal steel and who died 2 years ago. Great rendition. I remember Chet Atkins made a Christmas album. Would be great on pedal steel.
i SURE love the sound of a steel and the most beautiful that was written and played the way you it sends tingles down my spine!!! Thank you Bill for sending God Bless!!!!
Merry Christmas, 2014, from Apple Valley California. You have given us the great gift of your Pedal Steel Music, the gift that keeps giving year after year. Thank You David, May God Continue To Bless You.
SUCH TALENT! UNBELIEVABLE!! I HAVE NEVER HEARD A BETTER STEEL PLAYER AND I;M 75 YEARS OLD. I JUST DISCOVERED U ON TH-cam THIS WEEK. THANK U FOR ALL 5THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.
Keith, I thought you deserved your very own praise. I have been watching you learn, and I must say I envy you having a great teacher to work with. You are sounding better each time I hear you play. Merry Christmas, Keith, and Happy New Year to you both. Sacramento Chuck
Dave, This beautiful version of Silent Night really touched my heart! You have a style of playing that would be hard to match. To me it is the most beautiful version I have ever heard. Thank you so much for all your fantastic music on YOU TUBE. God bless you and I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
@ibtheonlymarktoo Thanks for sharing this with me, Mark. It's truly beautiful, Dave. My Dad, who passed away right before Father's Day, played country music on his guitar for most of his life. It was his grand passion. He lived near Nashville, TN the last 10 years. My memory of him will always be playing his beloved music. Keep up the good work!! Cheri/CCF
Well Dave....it’s that time again...but have been playing this gem all year already. Have a blessed year coming in 2019. Your version is top of the charts and makes Christmas that much more enjoyable. Take care...mark
Sometimes I see some of the titles of the song you are doing and say to myself, "Oh brother, not that song!!!". I have to click play to clear it from my list of subscriptions, and next thing you know I've listened to the entire song. You guys are truly amazing. I need to get your music on CD so I can listen to it when I go to bed, I would sleep like a baby.
I do a lot of songwriting and recording here in the US. I've got you all the work you can handle when you decide to come this way! You're great and I cant wait to hear more!
Steel Guitar on Christmas.I dont know why no one ever thinks of doing these songs on Steel Guitar before this.Ive never heard them done this way beforeyou do a good job.Thanks for the upload.
I am very impressed greeting me from Indonesian Borneo and thank you for entertaining many people. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Sincerely Joseph Bambang.
Well Dave...the leaves are starting to drop here in Michigan.....a sign that the snowflakes will soon be here. You know how much I love your version of this song.....and I consider it the very best by anyone. It always reminds me of my ‘Shadowgirl’.....and, of course, Flash. Furthermore, it makes the world a better place.....at least for me. An early ‘Happy Holidays’.....take care good friend.....warmest regards, mark. :)
my dad was in the hospitol on christmas eve yrs ago, I was in the waiting room crying my eyes out, But then " choir" walked thru the wing singing this song, they stopped right at my dads room and sang all the verses to him, and I came in and He was crying cuz he wasnt at home with me, I quit listening to christmas music in 1998 gave it all up {like t mr scrooge did} But I was at Home during a bad snow storm, and The phone rang to my surprise It was dad calling me outta the blue, for 1hr or so we sang "silent night" and a couple other christmas songs"that was our last christmas together, he died in January of 1999, so every yr I play "silent night over and over".
Hi David....well....here it is again....Christmas in May....your version is simply ‘the best’ there is.....I’d say....you are the ‘gift ‘.......take care old friend.....mark (and shadowgirl). :)
I wish to thank you all for your comments to my youtube broadcasts. It is very much appreciated. I do try and contact you all personally if there's any questions that I have been asked, and I also make note of all your requests too. I have some great ideas for future videos and I will try and play some of your requests also. Wishing you all a happy Christmas and a New Year. Sincerely, David Hartley
I LOVE SOUND OF STEAL GUITER BUT IT REMINES OF MY DAD WHO SADLY PASSED AWAY WHERE HE WAS INTO COUNTRY MUSIC. PROBLEM WITH CHRISTMAS IS THAT IT COMES TOO QUICK. IT DOSN'T GIVE US A CHANCE PEPARE.
Merry Christmas to you :) I've been watching your videos for some time now (I'm even subscribed to your channel) and I'm amazed by what you're doing. Although I play the guitar myself, playing the 13-string pedal steel guitar would propably outgrow my perceptional and manual skills. Keep it coming and may the newborn Christ blesses you over the next year! :)
It won't be long and tex will be dancing to the music like flash did. Thanks Dave for all your music. Are you planning a trip to the South Pacific anytime in the future? Roger NZ
