This channel is total Agape Love ❤. Doyle your Christmas CD and Treasures of the Spirit are your true masterpiece CD’s. Every time I hear Haley sing the line “With a mother’s kiss” I burst into tears. I miss her so much but Heaven is so much sweeter now. A wonderful blessing as always Doyle and Haley. May Heaven rain so many blessings on you that you will need an umbrella…..Amen

[@doyledykesmusic]

Amen Vincent!

[@KathyLouvin]

Thank you for the boldness of your dedication ❤ I am encouraged and now more determined to step out and step up and move forward in the ministry of Christ.

Oh, how I love every part of this Sunday String - Along video today! It makes me smile and have such a blessing! You have such a lovely daughter, who sings so beautifully along wth your exceptional playing and messages. Thank you, Mr. Doyle❤

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks so much! I appreciate it!

[@PaulAshley]

Merry Christmas, all! We received a special gift on Friday when, following my daughter's deep-dive breast biopsy, we got the official word that what the doctors feared was cancerous was benign. Thanks much for all your prayers.

[@vincentkowski8466]

Amen - Praise the Lord

"In The Bleak Mid Winter" Amazing!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Really enjoyed this one! Amazing music and harmony along with a good dose of wisdom and encouragement! Our family has been so blessed in 2024 and we count you all as one of those many blessings!

[@doyledykesmusic]

How nice! Thanks so very much! We definitely feel the same way about you folks!

[@BarryWilson-ry4xz]

You guys are such a blessing to entertain us with music from the heavens ! God is with us and I hear it coming from your hearts !

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks so much

[@JackArmstrong-x6m]

As you requested, 2024 has allowed me to seek more of God through Jesus every day, and my prayers are longer these days. I seek the word to bring others close to his word and to salvation daily for those who are not with him. I feel that my prayers touch many that are in need, and I strive daily to bring them with me to the Lord Jesus. Thank you again for your message, and another touching string a long.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Beautiful message! Thank you.

[@rkoblues24]

God Bless you both and Happy Final Sunday of 2024!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you and same to you.

[@voltairegoethe]

During these times, yes, these times, On Sundays, I always feel it's 1736 on the boat with the Moravian Christians and Doyle leading the singing and Praise in the midst of "The Storm." Hold The Line! Thank you, Doyle.

[@doyledykesmusic]

I’m honored to be a part of your Sunday journey! 2025 is going to be great!

[@RodRanDusted]

Another good one Doyle. I can’t imagine starting my week off without a Sunday Morning String-along.

[@doyledykesmusic]

I appreciate that!

[@cliffragsdale292]

I look forward to the string-along every week. They do my soul good and are so appreciated. It's always a special treat to hear Hayley sing too! May God continue to be bless you as you bless others in 2025. Love to all! (Meat Loaf! 🤣)

[@doyledykesmusic]

Amen! Love the Meatloaf reference! He was such a talented man… Please look him up on the Huckabee show. I believe it was the last time he performed.

[@unclenote]

In the Bleak Midwinter……singing and guitar arrangement …….sublime! Thank you🎄

[@doyledykesmusic]

Many thanks!

[@ragsdirt3492]

Great tunes again from you Doyle. The Lord is with us as we wind down this year of 2024. The New Year is full of promises and great things for us. Your playing is an uplifting experience that I look forward to every Sunday morning. I will be off to mass soon and will say a few prayers for you and your family and the supporters on this string. Best to you! ❤❤

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks so very much… God Bless you and your family!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks, Bryan… God bless you pal.

[@connielipp8648]

"In the bleak midwinter".. I'd never heard that song until last year when you 2 played and sang it. This year, when this video came up I went on line to hear others do this song. In all honesty, your version is the Most Rich and Beautiful. Thank you for doing it again for us.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks so much… I appreciate you!

[@bradjacobson1203]

How many people go to heaven or be in heaven because of you? We are thankful that by the lords grace that he will do his will and that he will use people for his glory. No person is responsible for getting others to heaven. Only through our savior Jesus Christ

[@doyledykesmusic]

He gets all the glory for sure but it’s amazing how the Holy Spirit works in and through us! He told us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature… We’re on His team for sure. We plant & water but only God gives the increase!

[@davidleinweber]

Truly love it. Can’t beat classic hymns well played in a straightforward manner. Wonderful to hear.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Amen!

Amen! Enjoy the service! It’s gonna go great!

[@guitarman0289]

Great SSA this morning… love it when you get to have your family on the String Along…loved Ms Holli and her 3rd part today… sounded great, nothing like family harmony. Keep doing what you’re doing my brother… we’ll keep supporting you and praying for you… Gods blessings my friend! Happy new year!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you so much. Happy new year Guitar man!!

[@danawalker55]

Awesome! It's always a blessing to hear and see your talented daughters! God bless you DD and keep up the good work!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks so much! I’m so blessed to have them and get to play with them.

[@stevefossen6853]

Thank you Doyle, your words mean so much to me. I have to watch the string along with my eyes shut, with my OCD the beautiful clutter behind you is so distracting that the Word you are saying gets lost to me and I have to keep backing up. I can't keep my focus on what you are saying, so I just shut my eyes and listen intently. I love your conversational style , so keep doing what you're doing and I'll be here every Sunday. God bless you and your family. Be "Alive in 25". I truly wish I could play like you do, it's an amazing revelation.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Stay with us Steve! God bless you pal!

[@darb52]

Merry Christmas Doyle. I had a pleasant surprise this Christmas, my wife who now is an ardent fan of yours gifted me a String along cap and T shirt! We love to sit together at the end of the day and listen to your show, a positive note before sleep time. Thanks!

[@doyledykesmusic]

That is awesome! Blessings to you both.

[@terrygreer2992]

Thank you, thank you. God bless you and your family for your sincere way you share Jesus in song, music, and His word. Happy New Year!!

[@stevepoorman9289]

Two things from 2024: He is always faithful, and He is personal.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Great!!!

[@D.R.Guitar]

You’re such a blessing, Doyle. Thank you. I’m sure looking forward to what God’s going to do in my life, in our nation, and in the world in 2025. I hoped Jesus would return in 2024. I’ll just go right on hoping and watching for that in 2025. Bless ya, brother!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Amen! Me too.

[@paulwilson6260]

Such a great episode, filled with spirit, sincerity, and beautiful music! A bet you all had a lot of fun with all your family together! I knew Haley and Holly are both great singers, but I had no idea that Doyle could sing such close harmony like that! Haley’s lead singing is incredible. Very few singers could sing Amazing Grace at such a slow tempo and hold all those notes perfectly on pitch like that! Thanks for another wonderful Sting Along experience! :-)

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks Paul… Especially coming from you. We really appreciate it. You’re such a talented singer and picker. I appreciate your friendship so much..

[@troybarrington3233]

Doyle, I'm glad you can see us on the other side of the camera! We are all smiling!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks! That’s good to know! God bless you!

[@lindawoody8501]

I like "Alive on purpose in '25". Works for me. Glad to see your daughter and hear both on today's String Along. Nice singing all! Wishing you and your family a splendid full of good health (God willing) happy New Year! P.S. I agree abt. 70! I am a few months younger than you Doyle so yes.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you so much! We all appreciate you Linda!

Published in 1872 and written by Christina Rossetti. The lyrics often vary a bit from the original and seemed to have developed over time. A late Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ❤❤❤

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you for the information. It's amazing how some traditions live on and are passed down. Ours was more of the James Taylor/Shawn Colvin version. Happy New Year!

[@MrRiverlord999]

@@doyledykesmusic I love both the artists you mentioned and of course it’s on Shawn’s “Holiday Songs and Lullabies” album. I used to play it myself years ago. I shall have to try and play it again. So many of the Christmas songs lend themselves to acoustic adaptations.

[@russellpitney278]

thanks for bringing the olson out of hibernation

[@doyledykesmusic]

Amen!

[@triplecreekfarm2007]

That was outstanding musicianship! Your picking is amazing. My husband and I found out about your channel through Paul, brother of Tipper Pressley from Celebrating Appalachia. Haley has such a beautiful voice! Is she a recording artist? I would totally buy her music.

Can’t go wrong wif dat Olson.

I agree. Thanks… maybe some day!

[@joekeith5388]

Why do you not feature your other daughter .

[@cpjds1]

It looks like a pretty tight space for three people to be on camera. She might also be camera shy :)

[@doyledykesmusic]

Well…. She didn’t want to be. She just wanted to be there and I’m so glad she was. She’s involved every week. You just don’t ever see her.
