    What are you listening to right now? (Christmas Edition)

    I just wanted to share and see what everyone's favorite singer/song/album was for the holidays. Share who's version of what song with everyone and who knows maybe we'll end up with a Windrivers Christmas collection!

    I grew up hearing the album Bing Crosby's White Christmas every Christmas Eve and every Christmas Morning. It's made me a traditionalist for old style songs for the holidays. That album is my biggest symbol of Christmas to me during the Holidays and here is I'm dreaming of a white Christmas from it for you to enjoy.

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    One Script to bring them all,
    and clean up after itself.

    Vince Guaraldi: A Charlie Brown Christmas


    A very cool, latin-leaning, minor jazz pianist. An influence on early Santana: "Treat" on Santana 1 is a rip off of a tune off of Guraraldi's album Alma-Ville.

    Street! Glad to hear from you! Had no idea you had a health problems, and I'm glad things are looking good for you. It does get lonesome around here, sometimes, so it's great to have you back. Though I'll be the first to admit I've been out of the loop a lot due to recto-cranial impaction (mostly work related) and a certain amount of post-election depression. Merry Christmas!

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that El_Squid, HouseIsland, you, and I could form a decent nucleus for a political discussion group. More importantly, I think we could keep it civil, intelligent, and still disagree. What I hate about most of the political debate these days is that I think voters handed down a pretty clear mandate for a centrist political agenda that included both healthcare reform and fiscal responsibility: nevertheless, both parties seem to have lost sight of this, and most of the debate is nasty, irrational, and illogical.
