I'm a sucker for Christmas music. And i love getting to play it with family and friends. No formal concerts scheduled this year, but in addition to whatever we play at home, we'll have music at the Thursday sessions at
O'Hurley's (the photo is from Christmas time at O'Hurley's last year, with Jacob trying out the wonderful Copeland whistle i'd gotten as a birthday present), and the beloved Eat-and-Sing at Goose Creek: a huge potluck at the meetinghouse, followed by carols, including a very silly rendition of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and my favorite traditional carol, "Good King Wenceslas" (the men singing the king's part, and the women, the page's - except for the years we decide to switch). A few years back, the scheduled night for the event coincided with an impressive ice storm, which knocked out power to the meetinghouse, but thinned the crowd not one bit. We went ahead by candlelight, and it was a magical evening... (though no one was quite sure what they had put on their plates at the potluck).
What's the music that makes your holiday season?
