I love Tracy Chapman and today I offer up her unique performance of O Holy Night. I love it for its simplicity and for the complete lack of vocal gymnastics that seem to go with most performances of the song. Enjoy…..

All posts for the month December, 2013
Today’s post is a special combination of incredible Montana scenery and a wonderful mix of music by Clint Black, Patty Loveless, Kathy Mattea, and the late great John Denver. This John Denver Christmas special was recorded in 1991 and I think you will really enjoy it. Sit back, relax, and start to get into the Holiday mood…..
RIP John!
Today’s post continues our Holiday Music Countdown in Two’Fer Tuesday style. I have two great versions of Joni Mitchell’s song River. First up is a performance by James Taylor which is followed by a performance by Sarah McLachlan. I would be hard pressed to say which is my favorite….they are both great and I think you will enjoy them.
Thanks to Joel Bernstein for the great picture of Joni skating on a river.
Today I have something really special for you, Johnny Cash’s Christmas Special from 1970 featuring guests including the Everly Brothers, Ike Everly, Mother Maybell Carter, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, and others. I really think you will enjoy it……..

Today’s Holiday song title might make you think I was lying about not posting funny Holiday songs anymore this year but don’t be deceived. This is a wonderful song performed by the amazing Everly Brothers. Listen to the lyrics and it will bring a tear to your eye. Enjoy
Today’s Sunday Session features one of my all time favorite performers, Jackson Browne, performing with the group that released my favorite record this year, Dawes, during the Occupy Wall Street protests. Enjoy….
So this is the last of our funny Holiday song posts….we will transition back to more “traditional” songs (as traditional as I get at least) for the final 10 leading up to Christmas Day. We will go out big with this gem from Eric Idle. You will either think this is the funniest thing you have ever heard or you will be insulted….but that’s the way we roll on this blog 🙂
Here is a funny clip from the Monty Python movie, The Meaning of Life. I hope you enjoy……
Here’s a great little Christmas ditty by the always funny Sarah Silverman backed by The Section Quartet. Bet you haven’t heard this one before…..
Today’s funny Christmas song is a great Canadian rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas by the amazing Bob and Doug McKenzie. Enjoy…..
