Tis' the season.
Time to dig out the songbooks and learn some
tunes to play for family and friends. Of all the
songs/jingles/hymns to play/ listen to, by far the one
I enjoy the most is ELP's (I Believe in) Father Christmas.

jazz version of white christmas, classical/jazz version of Noel, and a classical type version of "what child is this" I composed last year for two guitars.

Danny Carnahan's "Dram To Warm The Piper" is something I play nearly all season....

John McCutcheon's "Christmas In The Trenches" is a must-play!

I do "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day" inspired by John Gorka's take on it...

"While Roving On A Winters Night" is one I really aughta dust down... I ain't played it in forever!

Stu Hamm's version of Sleigh Ride

...and of course anything off of Universal Honey's Can't Stop Thinking About Christmas. :wink:

ahhh i wish i can play the guitar well enough to play Cannon...

one of my very... distant relatives come to our little family get together and plays cannon in a rock style. it seems like a very exiting christmas like song compared to other soft and jingly tunes

more of a exciting feel or mood to chrismas i supose

I've only been playing a few months, so the only Christmas song I can play is Jingle Bells....
