Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters – Jingle Bells

This year I’m keeping a bit quiet on the verbosity and leaving it to the music to do the talking I am VERY busy at the moment and, believe it or not, the musicologist takes up a LOT of my time. Not that I’m complaining as sharing the music that I, genuinely, love is a pleasure for me so I have decided that rather than not lay a cut down due to my responsibilities and commitments to the project, my focus should, at least, be delivering on the music front which, after all, is where the real value is and what satisfies my need, want and desire to communicate and connect by utilising the universal language.

Phew..after all that…today’s cut is courtesy of musicologys answer to Father Christmas none other than Bing Crosby backed in great style by the Andrews Sisters..(yet another one of themusicologists most prized slices of the christmas pie..

(Count Basie – Jingle Bells)

Apologies for not uploading the Jackie Wilson cut until this morning…butterfly mind got the better of me. Not that I’m complaining or making excuses as the butterfly has led me down many interesting and fruitful paths along the way.

Last night it was football with the chaps..weekly game down the New Den on the indoor pitch. Being a striker my job is to hold the ball up and score goals. Bagged 5 last night and held the ball up so all told…job done. My cousin was on our team last night which is always a pleasure as we have the synchronicity that flows.

Today’s slice of the yuletide pie is courtesy of the swinging Count Basie Orchestra featuring of course the Count himself tinkling the ivories.
