Finestkind's "Feasts and Spirits" (wonderful Little Town Of Bethlehem) and all the old seasonal favorites, including John Gorka's "Rock of Ages."

I'm kind of "nuts-oh" when it come to music and although I would instantly call myself a "folkie," there is a strong streak of appreciation for the "pop" genre.

With that in mind, I found myself at my desk and went on-line to draw out various versions of some of my favorite Christmas songs, such as - "Little St. Nick," "Snoopy's Christmas," the Hawaiian one that Jimmy Buffet does, "Christmas In Kilarney," "Strange Way," from the christian group 4 Him; "Christmas Is All In The Heart," from Steven Curtis Chapman and two different versions of "All I Want For Christmas Is You," one of which was done by Maria Carey, who I generally would not listen to, but the song came up and it just teemed with the sound of Phil Spector. I don't know who produced it, but they just captured that 1960's "girl group" sound of the Ronette's and the like. Hey, Happy New Year, everyone!....mwh

Well, as usual Santa brought me several things off my Amazon wishlist so I listened to St Lonnie, Martin Simpson, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Miller Anderson Band, Count Basie, the Prairie Home Companion movie soundtrack and Ken Colyer.
Be very afraid: Herself (a glutton for punishment) bought me a guiro which is more portable than the washboard and thus might allow an old scraper like me to take it on holiday (along with the kazoo and spoons).
