[dcab-l] Woody & Dad sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

Friends of Christmas Present:

 

This is the 12th year my son Woody and I have recorded a Christmas song.  Others

we've done in years past:

 

2009 "Star of Bethlehem"

2010 "Silent Night"

2011 "Silver Bells"

2012 "Blue Christmas"

2013 "White Christmas"

2014 "Winter Wonderland"

2015 "The Friendly Beasts"

2016 "Away in a Manger"

2017 “The First Noel”

2018 “Santa Clause is Coming to Town”

2019 “Holly Jolly Christmas”

 

For 2020 we've recorded "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.   Woody did the

mixing, played slide guitar (dobro), and sang tenor and baritone harmonies.  Dad sang

lead and played the guitar and bass.  I used an 09 Martin Marquis for guitar, and my

Gold Tone MicroBass for the low end.

 

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was written in 1943 by Hugh Martin and

Ralph Blane, and introduced into cinema by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical:

Meet Me in St. Louis. In the film, it is rendered in a sad portrayal by Garland holding

her little sister as they realize it's their last Christmas all together, before their unwanted

move to New York.

 

Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics, rendering the song a joyful

Christmas standard now heard everywhere.

 

Please enjoy!   Woody and I wish everyone a happy and prosperous Holiday Season!

[dcab-l] Martin Guitar Christmas: Silent Night

Friends of Christmas Present:

 

Here's a new “All Mixed Up” Christmas song, this one from a live performance.

 

Musicians:

 

  Barry Wendell                 Rhythm Guitar and Harmony

  Ed Schaeffer                   Martin Guitar and Vocal

  Greg Nelson                   Bass

 

The parish priest of the little church of Arnsdorf, Austria wrote the words for this

beautiful Christmas song on the day before Christmas Eve in 1818.  Mice had

eaten the bellows of the church organ.  This priest and organist were sadly

troubled by the lack of music for Midnight Mass, but when the organist, Franz

Gruber, heard the words by Joseph Mohr, he set them to this lovely music now

so familiar to us all.

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

Ed

[dcab-l] Chris Sexton's Virtual Music Studio Open House - tonight 7pm

Sexton Music Studio Virtual Open House tonight 7pm

So, about opening the studio for in-person lessons: We're just not there yet. Cases are on the uptick, and it's just not to where we're comfortable yet for student safety or ours. But fear not! We're planning, and we're going to have a very special Virtual Open House via Facebook Live on December 4th at 7pm. Holy smokes, that's tonight! Please feel very highly encouraged to pop in. The link is https://www.facebook.com/sextonmusicstudio/live/, and the Facebook Event page is https://www.facebook.com/events/2779144249072874.  You don't need a Facebook account to tune in. Here's what we'll be going through:

* A virtual tour of the studio and all the new improvements that Bull Run Unitarian Universalists and us have made to the space.

* A run-down of safety precautions we're preparing to take for when it's safe. 

These include but are not limited to temperature checks, hand sanitizer, ventilation improvements, security improvements, socially distanced lessons, larger lesson spaces, mandatory mask usage, limits on number of people in space, HEPA H13 Filter use, deep cleaning, and outdoor lessons when suitable.

* A complimentary demonstration and mini-lesson on violin, viola, cello, bluegrass fiddle, and piano.

* A demonstration for students about how playing violin differs from playing bluegrass fiddle!

* Details on joining a wait-list for in-person lessons, if folks are just interested in in-person lessons and not virtual lessons, due to whatever reasons they may have.

* I'll play some tunes. Y'all like tunes, right? Right.

* And of course, virtual lessons via FaceTime, Skype, and Zoom are ongoing and have been really successful. Call/text me at 703-975-5075 or email chris@sextonmusicstudio.com with any questions, comments or suggestions - I'd love to be in touch!

Thanks,

Chris Sexton, Sexton Music Studio
