Feelin' like a little music today...mom had sent me a video link to a wildly popular arrangement of the "12 Days of Christmas", viewed over 3 million times on YouTube. As a die hard A Capella singer myself, I appreciate the mastery it takes to pull off an arrangement like this first one! (For any of today's links, simply click on the pictures to go to the video...cut those speakers on!)
"12 Days of Christmas"
Straight No Chaser
Indiana University
While I love holiday 'standards', I also appreciate variations on a theme, and cool vocal jazz is enjoyable to hear when the voices really blend...
"Silent Night"
Boyz II Men
Take 6 has always had my jaw agape...and they pull this medley off in true Take 6 style, which is unlike any other group. And to think their group began to form in a college bathroom (acoustics in bathrooms are usually phenomenal for harmonies and resonance!)...
Christmas Medley
Take 6
What, 'Danny Boy' isn't on your Christmas 'hit' list??? Hey, at least it mentions 'snow' and summer being 'gone'...besides, it's too gorgeous of a song not to pass along to you today...

It's tough to beat the King's Singers. They don't ever miss.
The King's Singers did a PBS Christmas special years ago...was hoping it would re-run, but I've not seen it. They are impeccable...and excellent entertainers as well!
