TreeMendous Holiday Fun: Fruits of Your Labors

Step back, take a look… it’s your Christmas Tree! There it is! Yea!

What do i mean by simply feting the tall, green thing? Listen to The Harry Simeone Chorale singing “Christmas Tree.” A bit south pacifican, but all soulful about that beautiful tree!

Open it up, and there you are. Experimental doowop from M G Whit in the form (?) of “We Got a Christmas Tree.” This head-scratcher celebrates love, god, and everyone with modulated gospel.

What–are we just sitting here! Yes, we are! Just waiting a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-round the “Christmas Tree,” as piped by Eliane Chappuis. Surreal pop.

Doug Carman tinkles those jazz ivories in mesmerizing rhapsody for “Christmas Tree.” The summation of holiday joy through tree-gazing is part experimental Beatles, part Allman Brothers.

Kerr Donnelly Band feel their way through “Star, Snow, & Christmas Trees.” It’s trembling country running in place about how delightful the whole scene is. Hearing it… not feeling it….

Gentle folk ballad show stopper time. Arlon Bennett leans into family values with “The Christmas Tree on Salem Street.” All the traditional symbology is marched through in a sweet way.
