"Solstice Bells" - Jethro Tull

(I know it ain't exactly an Xmas tune, but with Winter Solstice & all, & the bells, it just sorta feels like one!)

Phil, you can't sneak it in just because it sounds good haha
I mentioned mine before. It's a cover of Lennon's (Happy Xmas) War Is Over.

I love Carol of The bells, especially Ugh George ( I can't think of his last name but he plays piano on the Windham Hill Label )...Oh, George Winston is his name.

Any jazz version of We Three Kings, especially Dave Bruebecks 5/4 version and Ian Anderson's God Rest Ye Very Gentlemen. Actually a lot of jazz songs are great when done in jazz.

The Christmas Song .
It's the only one I like too play.
(I sure-'nuff don't sing it anywhere as good as Nat Cole, however.)

haha Kramer, still, the man had soul and nice lyrics. Anyways, the cover was recorded by a band called Shinedown.
