	2:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by "Joseph Spence" always had a love-hate feeling with Spence; his singing is strange, guitar sometimes sounds out of tune, but the overall makes me smile...(and he really can play...)

	2:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:02 Reminds me of Rev Gary Davis in that way, I could describe him pretty much the way I described Spende)

	2:31pm chresti: ↳ fred @2:05 I'll take a lead tumblerful.
	2:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Silent Night" by "The Microscopic Septet" Got to see Forrester solo a couple of years ago, hope he's back in the NY area again soon! (and, often, that would trigger a Micros Reunion, which is another wanna see show).
	2:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Silent Night" by "The Microscopic Septet" Silent Night as a blues, you gotta smile...
	2:33pm doctorjazz: (And the original chords of Silent Night aren't that far off a blues progression, but who else would come up twith the connection...)
	🥁 2:34pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "Silent Night" by "The Microscopic Septet" This is just perfect right now
	2:34pm Peter K.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:31 Sadly, Micros reunions are a tricky prospect these days, since Phillip Johnston lives in Australia. But they do happen!
	2:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Peter K. @2:34 Last I knew, Joel Forrester was in Paris, so both Johnston and Forrester had to coordinate a trip to the NY area. Bit I"M always up for it if they do come together...

	2:46pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @2:39 So sorry I stopped the CD accidentally. Still lovely.
	2:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Peace Piece" by "Bill Evans" ;- )
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Wonderful Holiday show, Irene (and I'm not a big fan of Holiday Shows), Thanks!
	2:52pm Irene Trudel: Well, that about wraps it up for me this year. Time to put the scratchy family record away. I'll be back in two weeks on January 8th.

	🥁 2:01pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by "Joseph Spence" My favourite Christmas tune by a mile,
	2:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by "Joseph Spence" always had a love-hate feeling with Spence; his singing is strange, guitar sometimes sounds out of tune, but the overall makes me smile...(and he really can play...)

	2:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:02 Reminds me of Rev Gary Davis in that way, I could describe him pretty much the way I described Spende)

	2:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Silent Night" by "The Microscopic Septet" Got to see Forrester solo a couple of years ago, hope he's back in the NY area again soon! (and, often, that would trigger a Micros Reunion, which is another wanna see show).
	2:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Silent Night" by "The Microscopic Septet" Silent Night as a blues, you gotta smile...
	2:33pm doctorjazz: (And the original chords of Silent Night aren't that far off a blues progression, but who else would come up twith the connection...)
	🥁 2:34pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "Silent Night" by "The Microscopic Septet" This is just perfect right now
	2:34pm Peter K.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:31 Sadly, Micros reunions are a tricky prospect these days, since Phillip Johnston lives in Australia. But they do happen!
	2:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Peter K. @2:34 Last I knew, Joel Forrester was in Paris, so both Johnston and Forrester had to coordinate a trip to the NY area. Bit I"M always up for it if they do come together...
	2:37pm Peter K.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:35 Yup, Joel lives in Paris pretty much all year but does occasionally return to New York. Let's all pray for a Christmas miracle.
