I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
For some reason, John Gorka’s rendition is new to me. *shrugs* I guess I can’t have heard it all, eh? (This year’s Xmas music playlist is right at 40 hours long, now. Maybe I’ll stop… after cataloging and adding another 8 hours or so? Maybe. And maybe 40 hours is a good place to stop… for this year.)

Xmas w/George Shearing
The album this was taken from was remastered and reissued in 2010, IIRC. Good stuff.
The homage to Brubeck that starts the clip above is… tasty.
Break from Xmas Music for a PSA
Only six more shoplifting days to “Kwanzaa” (the fake “holiday” for Marxist racists).
We 3 Kings
I really do “get” the carbon fiber cello, given the location. Oh, I also enjoy the treatment of the tune. Going on one of my Xmas playlists (the one with lots of Wynton Marsalis Xmas music and such ;-))
Every Now and Then…
..or more like 3 or 20 times a day, I think, “And I actually married her!”
No, seriously: people who “know” us think she married a guy with a very strange sense of humor and sometimes express amazement that she can “handle” it, but that’s only because her even weirder sense of humor is kinda stealthed and only really comes out in the open in situations where she feels completely secure.
And that’s why I see it a LOT… and think, “Wow! I actually married her! Can’t keep up with her, but at least it keeps me on my toes.”
(The really amazing thing is that she actually married me, but let’s just let that one go for now, mmK? ;-))
Veni, Veni, Emmanuel

Departure from the December Xmas Theme…
…for comedy gold from the doofus congresscritter who worried about Guam “tipping over” and “capsizing”:
Because “abnormal” is sooo much better than “midget”.
