Hello Everyone... the Christmas and Holiday season will be upon us soon. HO HO HO... As we know we have our annual Christmas Group Project. Yahoo. gingerbreadhouse

I was pleased to pull out a song book that I bought last year to do a project with Wookieman. I found some of the songs daunting last year. christmaswreath

While I can't make them lovely on the first go 'round, I was sooooo soooo excited to play some of them yesterday casually. What a good time!!! christmascandle

Holly Jolly Christmas

White Christmas

Frosty

Jingle Bells.. (always could play this.. Essentials book very early in the book)

Silver Bells

Up on the Roof top / Housetop

Rockin around the Christmas Tree

And then.....

my other holiday Favorites. I can't wait to see what I can do with my favorite.

Oh Holy Night. christmascandle

And then my other songs that I love to play ... O Little Town of Bethlehem, Oh Christmas Tree.

I am kind of a Holiday Elf ...so this year I am the Violin Elf. I hope we get to share and play a lot of holiday music this year.

Cheers, Toni christmaswreath

I found out last week that the jam I go to is having a Christmas party!! We will be playing Christmas music. I have dusted off my Christmas music and working on it to try and memorize it.

I am close with I Saw Three Ships, Once in Royal David's City, Go Tell It On The Mountain, He Is Born, and Come All Ye Shepherds because these are the ones I played with my sister-in-law at our family party last year. I am thinking of learning drones for I Saw Three Ships to make it a bit bluegrassy.

By the way - we have not been invited back!!!

I love Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring and Gesu Bambino but I know I will not be able to learn these for the party.
