Hey bud
I didn't realize the Internet reached as far as Okeechobee!
Try going here
http://www.larrybell.org/id9.htm
That's the TUNES page from my website. The Christmas stuff is in the bottom right corner.
If that doesn't work, try right-clicking on the link and save the mp3 file to your desktop, then click on it there and see if it plays. Delete it when done.
Let me know if either of those ideas works. So far several hundred people have played the new song so it is probably something amiss with your setup. Can you play mp3 files from other sites?
Greetings from Africa

Cut me some slack there, Mr Bill.
I've been listening to you for many years -- I've even played a couple of shows with you in Grand Rapids back a few years ago -- LT's Michigan show when he had them in GR and I lived in Kalamazoo. You may not recall but I do.
It is the ultimate compliment for me, coming from a player of your caliber. God bless you -- have wonderful holidays up in Gulfport. Hopefully we'll run into each other again before too long.
