Your favorite Christmas tunes...

[Li'l38]

I also like the one about the nightingale in the cage. Has kind of a nice Celtic flavor to it.

Garth Brooks does one about a li'l girl named Maria. Fixed up the bird's broken wing......the Very First Nightingale Song. Love it! (Then again, it's Garth!:10: 'nuff said.)

I worked in an office one year where they piped in music. Xmas time meant Xmas music. One day I counted 23 versions of the *&&^$#@! "little drummer boy". Thirty + years later and I still feel homicidal when I hear "parumpapumpum.

I used to have a recording of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus done by the by the Shell Oil Steel Band back in the 50's. It Rocked!
