I blame you all for implanting the memetic virus of Holiday Cheer (and not the fermented kind).

If any amateur (or not) piano players are around, and wants to play this for friends and family; i believe i have a pdf version of the sheet booklet for it laying around somewhere. If you want it, just look for me at pianofiles. I'm Syn_!  oof, what a fantastic album.

It's really really something, I was lucky enough to be there for the recording of it (all live, with just a few overdubs) and got to do the art for the record. (Heck, may as well get that in there if I can!) He's a really interesting, strange, and eclectic man. Halifax is lucky to have him. http://www.jerrygranelli.com/site/projects/1313-2/ http://www.divorcerecords.ca/ Love that man. Love the Vince Guaraldi Trio. Best Christmas soundtrack ever.  Just in case you guys are interested, Jerry Granelli, who played drums on that record, and is an incredible, weirdo, experimental percussionist.. put out a new, super wild solo drum record a few years ago on art/noise label Divorce Records.

"O Tannenbaum" is especially good. Has a very cocktail party "jump" feeling. My all-time favorite Christmas album. “O Tannenbaum” is especially good. Has a very cocktail party “jump” feeling.
