And Because I Just Can't Help Myself...

One good traditional carol deserves another.

I bet you never heard the "Boar's Head Carol" done quite like this:

And, in goofy comedy mode, do you remember where you were when you found out that "Buckwheat has been shot"?

And now for something completely different...

The Bill Evans Trio doing "Autumn Leaves." Pay special attention to the bass solo (as if you could ignore it):

And on the random direction this posting has taken, enjoy this bit of vintage Grateful Dead in a 1972 recording of "He's Gone":

And "Ramble on Rose" from the same concert:

And, finally, another of my all-time favorite bands, this time the Art Ensemble of Chicago:

I could post lots from these guys, but it will have to wait for now.
