TODAY'S TUNE - NO. 19 ON THE 2022 CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN IS DEDICATED TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE WHERE YOU CAN SLEIGH RIDE

IT JUST DOESN'T SNOW ENOUGH DOWN HERE IN GOD'S COUNTRY TO GO ON A SLEIGH RIDE, UNLESS IT HAS WHEELS

Sleigh Riding just does not happen where I live. It's usually in the low to mid sixties at Christmas. It snows very lightly in my hometown about every 10-20 years. The only way I can genuinely enjoy snow is to relax in a 5-star AIRBNB with a big window and a big fire and a big glass of wine to enjoy the view. I'm a true Southerner. Just so you know, I am never envious or jealous when I see all the piles of snow up north! 

I believe great music in any genre is always relevant and timeless from the classics of Beethoven and Mozart to current day rock, pop, country and jazz. Great music by great artists is always worth a listen.  You Tube has opened a whole world of great music present and past. Whether it's from an old 33 1/3 vinyl, a dated cassette, CD, Spotify, or You Tube doesn't really matter. Great music that becomes timeless must be listened to.

Today's tune, performed by the English jazz-pop singer-songwriter Jamie Cullen, is for all those Vagabonds living in Northern climes where snow is falling in December. It's a great little tune called Sleigh Ride performed with a small rhythm section and some nice horns. It captures music from the forties stylistically. Great tune and a nice video - Enjoy No. 19 on the 2022 CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN.

So, get in that sleigh and ride!

Merry Christmas

"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas." - Calvin Coolidge.
