    Great vibe here, and Ella's singing is incomparable.

    Both jazz orchestras I play in prepare Christmas based programs that total about 6 or 7 performances every holiday season, so there's no escaping personal involvement in playing Christmas music every year.

    Interestingly, the guitar parts are slightly more challenging to read and execute than your average big band charts, so there's always a bit of woodshedding to do...and then they don't get played again for another year.

    BBC Radio 4 just ran a half hour broadcast on Joni's "River", reflecting on how deeply some are engaged with what must be one of the most moving of (anti-) Christmas songs.

    That's from 'Blue', isn't it?

    Really nothing to do with Christmas per se, of course, it's about Joni feeling gloomily self-reflective as usual, which she's perfectly prone to do most of the time (it's not an 'anti-Christmas' song!) but 'Blue' is definitely one of the best albums ever made, no question.

    I don't go for happy jingly tunes, just not my thing. I like tunes like Silent Night and Bleak Midwinter. But if I have one favorite Christmas song it would be Blue Christmas, preferably sung by me, because I enjoy it.

    I know, I'm just a prole :-)

    I've been singing "Jingle Bells" this week. Googled the title to see what came up and found this, an instrumental versionn based on "Dueling Banjos" that morphs into "Jingle Bells." I had to listen...

    (I don't know why this song is called "Run, Rudoplh, Run" when the refrain is "Run, Run Rudolph."
