This is a jazz band from New Orleans and they played this song on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip about a year after Katrina. It always stuck with me.

Ralph Stanley singing harmony when his voice was perfect. Patty Loveless has a gorgeous version of this song too.

[Kätzchen]

so glad you posted Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys!
My grandmother absolutely loved bluegrass: hearing that number
tonight brought back lovely memories of her and her brothers (Luther & Elmer)
and how when they came up to visit, they'd bring their banjos and fiddles and
play tunes for us, late at night.

Here's another Ralph Stanley song
(Thanks Martina!)

I woke with this song in my mind, and then the carillon bells at the church down the street started playing it for the 11am hour.

This is a heavy version with organ and carillon... and choral version is usually much more pleasant on the ears.

I was singing this last night, and my son asked who sang it. I said, I though it was Burl Ives. My son's response - well, why don't we just leave him to it.

The video is a little lame but it is the song that I love.

Trivia: those first few notes at the beginning of the song are from an instrument called a Glockenspiel.

This song reminds me of when my oldest was a teenager. She would play this song and dance around her room. I just loved her joy.

My long-term ex took her to see Wham! in LA, in person (Wham!: George Michael and Andrew Ridgely) at a club full of screaming teenage girls in the 1980's.

She said her ears rang for days from the screaming!

i'm not one for traditional holiday music - i think i burned out on it at about age fifteen and started listening to more modern or alternative choices that held meaning for me and in that, i created new traditions and memories from those that i grew up listening to, raised my own child with or just loved because they were simply beautiful


of all the beautiful music i surrounded my child with and to this day he has a very refined ear with an impeccable taste in music, this .... is his favorite holiday song LoL

Fairytale of New York -- Kirsty MacColl and The Pogues

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day...

Christmas in the Room
Sufjan Stevens

No travel bags, no shopping malls
No candy canes, no Santa Claus
For as the day of rest draws near
It's just the two of us this year

No silver bells or mistletoe
We'll kiss and watch our TV show

I'll come to you, I'll sing to you
Like it's Christmas in the room
I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you
Till it's Christmas in the room

No traffic jams, no ice and storm
Far in the house the fire is warm
No Christmas tree, no great parade
It's just an ordinary day

No parties planned, no place to go
It's just the two of us alone
And in the house we see a light
That comes from what we feel inside

I'll come to you, I'll sing to you
Like it's Christmas in the room
I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you
Till it's Christmas in the room
Till it's Christmas in the room

Oh, I can see the day when we'll die
But I don't care to think of silence
For now I hear you laughing
The greatest joy is like the sunrise

No gifts to give, they're all right here
Inside our hearts, the glorious cheer
And in the house we see a light
That comes from what we feel inside

I'll come to you, I'll sing to you
Like it's Christmas in the room
I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you
Till it's Christmas in the room

I'll come to you, I'll sing to you
Like it's Christmas in the room
I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you
Like it's Christmas in the room
Like it's Christmas in the room
