Favorite Christmas music? That's really easy, at least for me.
Favorite Christmas musician would of course be Burl Ives. My grandpa's favorite musician, a man (my grandpa that is) who was my greatest positive influence. Worked his ass off and rode his bike until almost 90. Died at 98 many years ago. You go grandpa!
And of course Silent Night is the most wonderful Christmas song ever written, without a doubt.
Combining the musician and the music, and combing youtube,
this is the best I have come up with. Close your eyes to ignore the somewhat-cheesy video and just enjoy Burl and the music.........
And thanks for asking....
