Xmas Music

2006-11-22 18:06:39.5878+01 by petronius 0 comments

It's not even Thanksgiving yet, and our local Easy Listening station is already on full holiday music duty. Maybe one antidote would be to listen to some of this stuff Gregg Miner runs a small museum of historic and just plain unusual musical instruments, and he has reimagined a bunch of old chestnuts for these exotic instruments, like "White Christmas" played on 23-string Knutsen Harp-Guitars (?) or the ukelele orchestra version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". Unfortunately, the sample page doesn't have my favorite, "Little Drummer Boy" done by sitar and tabla ensemble.
