Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

[Loikroh]

As it's that time of the year I thought I'd do a quick recording of one of my favourite Christmas tunes.

A pity the jazz guitarist I play with has the dreaded flu - oh dear - get well soon.

 

Merry Christmas to all

Very nicely played, thanks for posting. I'd also like to hear some tunes with you & the jazz guitarist when he's better. Sounds like an interesting combination.

Are you playing the golden Aeola you're pictured with on Soundcloud on this track?

[Rod]

Yes. Very nice. So many simple little concertina tunes can be be enhanced with a measure of competent, tasteful improvisation, making them so much more fun to play and to listen to.

[Loikroh]

Glad you like it. In response to your question, Defra - yes it's played on the gold baritone-treble - right up the top end. The recording does, however, sound rather different from the original sound on the concertina due to my mic being less than excellent! One project I have earmarked for 2016 is getting decent recording rig set up.....

Happy Christmas

Great playing from both Mart and Michael. Thanks for posting!

[Anglo Enthusiast]

Excellent!

[Loikroh]

Sorry I haven't replied to anyone - Christmas and all that!. Thanks for the comments and glad it gave you the inspiration to record your version, Mike - nice one!

I love playing jazz and will post a few bits in the near future - with the trio backing too - doesn't sound quite the same on its own.
