Members pink floyd cramer Posted December 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 Forgot to list "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" (who might bear a resemblance to plaid emu ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Julian Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 That's more than enough suggestions. Can someone please now lock this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Detharmonic Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 Carol of the Bells would probably be a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cygnus64 Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 That's more than enough suggestions. Can someone please now lock this thread? That's about 45 minutes of music. Some of these gigs are many hours. Unless he is playing a long song like "Handel's Messiah", that's not enough tunage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pogo97 Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 I've put together a short set of Chri$tmas/winter songs (with chords) last year. If anyone wants a .pdf, I'll go through it, fix up a few errors, and post it for your general delectation. It includes all but a few of dparr's list.

Members keybdwizrd Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 I am typing this from the Hotel Baker, in St. Charles, Illinois, where I am playing a solo keyboard gig at a corporate holiday dinner party, where I've been playing every frickin' Christmas song known to man. (Yes, I brought my laptop to entertain myself on breaks, and the hotel has free wi-fi.) When not playing myself, I am entertaining the dinner guests with Christmas music from Harry Connick, Jr., Tony Bennett, and Ella Fitzgerald via my iPod. I love Christmas. Time for another Heineken.

Members kooki_sf Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 not much of a player myself, but if i were i would probably throw in the theme from "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pink floyd cramer Posted December 14, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 God, your Christmas sounds like a {censored}ing nightmare. Sounds pretty cool to me- especially if you're actually into playing music. And DJ-ing Ella Fitgerald, Tony Bennett etc. instead of the usual booty-house crap might actually be tolerable. You go Keyboard Wiz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members keybdwizrd Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 God, your Christmas sounds like a {censored}ing nightmare. No, it wasn't a bad gig, actually. The party was in this gorgeous room at this hotel, which was just a beautful little place. A totally restored vintage 1920's hotel sitting right on the Fox River, with lots of fantastic woodwork, beautiful paintings, and tasteful holiday decorations. The guests were really nice (although I'd been hoping for more younger women all dressed up for the company bash), and the bartender went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of in terms of drinks. And the valet guy lent a hand, helping me move my stuff in and out of the hotel. Life is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members filtersweep Posted December 15, 2008 Members Share Posted December 15, 2008 Some religious Christmas music is beautiful: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring / O Holy Night / O come, O come Immanuel, many others. Secular music of the holidays can also be beautiful: I'll Be Home for Christmas / White Christmas, etc, and a lot of it is just fun: Rudolph / Frosty / Winter Wonderland. I love playing this stuff even though it is far from the type of stuff I play most of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
