Another blast from Christmas Past!

Aired 9 December 2012 from County Clare, and kicking off the Christmas season! What's your favourite? Will it be "Coal and Switches" by Brave Combo? Or the more pacificist timbre of "The Christians and the Pagans", by Dar Williams? A kick-ass bluesy Rudolf by the Asylym Street Spankers? Ho ho ho!!!!

This song! Good friends, sitting around with food, wine, a few guitars, singing a few old songs. Oh, and they happen to be Guy and Suzanna Clark, Townes van Zandt, Rodney Crowell, a VERY young Steve Earle, and friends, singing Silent Night, and almost remembering the words. My favourtie Christmas song, ever! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NALdOTfT_d8

To me the best Performance of Silent Night! So blue!

Christmas song of the day, Day 3. Lots of people have recorded this song, but this is the only version I ever listen to, and I listen to it a lot! The musicianship is sexy as, and the vocals manage to capture two people on a slightly boozey, loved up evening, in that moment of decision about what next. She is not fighting off a lecherous scumbag, but is negotiating with herself..... should I, shouldn't I, should I, shouldn't I......
Oh, and its also a shout out to my Buffalo friends, to remind them that, on occasion, there is snow this time of year!
