Rare Music ~ Christmas Songs!

In keeping with Christmas themes, this week, instead of the dreary, horrid political stuff, that it seems we can't change now, no matter what we do....I'm posting Rare Musical Video's.  First up

"The Christmas Song" a lovely live version by Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull.

I got inspired to search this out, because I just brought home today the excellent CD
"The Best of Acoustic" Jethro Tull (2007).  Their musical stylings are just perfect this time of year, and this is a wonderful CD, search it out if you haven't heard already.

Hey, Santa, Pass Us That Bottle, Will You?


Now we have this very interesting selection, Ian with Full Orchestra
      "German televison celebrates "Christmas with the president" (the german 'Bundespräsident') every year and 2006 they invited Ian Anderson from the group Jethro Tull to the beautiful monastary Maria Laach to play a few tunes with his band and the youth orchestra Rheinland-Pfalz. The show was broadcast on Christmas eve, 24.12.2006.
 Ians set includes "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".





Finally, here is a touching Mini-Movie to "The Christmas Song" that has us
think about the real reason for the Season. It is very creative, thoughtful and 
relevant today more than ever! It's from the YouTube Channel of lindabs1816
aka PeaceLady.


God Bless Us, Everyone! Especially YOU, my Friend!
