Friday Holiday Music



I dig this version.  I find it delightful and strangely sexy. 

In my high school band geek days I was occasionally seconded to the school orchestra to ply my trombone trade. One of the highlights each year was a tour of the local elementary schools to perform a Christmas Program. This song was always a crowd favorite. Mine too, for the brass was an integral part of the melody, not filler to pump up the damn strings.

  1. I once heard a theory of musical instrument assignments by personality.
    I was told troublemakers get the trombone. Like my son did.
