Had a hard time finding this one.  Not sure if the link will work, but this is Jimi Hendrix and Band of Gypsies practicing before their New Year's Eve gig at the Fillmore East in December 1969.  It's a medely of Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night and Auld Ang Syne, with a little Taps thrown in for good measure.  It's a little rough, as it is just a practice session that was not intended for release as a recording, but eventually was released a few years after Jimi's death.  Still, his mastery of feedback is incredible.  I'm usually a traditionalist when it comes to my Christmas music, but this is Jimi.

Probably already mentioned, but whatever. Cool to hear this and see Mele Kalikimaka posted everywhere out here. Also the tie-in to my favorite Christmas movie, Christmas Vacation, makes this my favorite.

Merry Little Christmas is my favorite. I like most versions of it.  Last year Billie Eilish covered it on SNL and now i think I like her cover the best.

If you've never been to see these gals, put it on your "to do" list.  We've been twice, once for a regular show and once for the Christmas show.  Fantastic and easy on the ears (and eyes).  They can come and tuck me in and sing me to sleep anytime they want to. 

While we're across the pond, this may be a surprise to some.  Slade, yeah, those rockin' dudes, put this one and it became one of the GOATs.

Give it at least 40 seconds.

FYI;
