Holiday Hijinks by Gregg Miner
Like my original A Christmas Collection Volumes 1 & 2, Volume 3 contains a variety of styles and instruments to entertain you. This time around, however, I chose to stick mostly to jazzy pop hits of the ‘40s and ‘50s, with just a bit of old tradition thrown in. This went hand-in-hand with the instruments I chose.
So, here you’ll find secular seasonal music, from the silly to the sublime, heavy (instrumentally) on the vocal stylings of Bing, et al. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll dance around the house!
And yes, hijinks may ensue.
