Merry Christmas My Good Friends. It is Christmas Eve and I am with my family watching "National Lampoons: Christmas Vacation". It is still brilliant every time I see. Brilliant I tell you. BRILLIANT !!!

So, during my last post I mentioned some folks that I would love to hear sing songs that I love, that were written by other musicians that I love.

Well, I found out that #5, Tom Waits doing a cover of a song that he wrote that Norah Jones recorded on her last album. The song is called "Long Way Home". Tom Waits actually did do a recording of that was recorded on a movie soundtrack. It is a breathtaking song.

Here is a new list..........for a very special TOP 3 for Christmas Day.

1. Rufus Wainwright w/ The Darkness: "Bohemia Rhapsody" (originally recorded by Queen)
* recommended by my lovely wife, NOELLE.

2. Rosie Thomas and Sam Beam (from Iron and Wine): "White Christmas" (traditional)

3. Tom Waits: "O Holy Night" ( traditional standard)

** I am well aware that some of these songs will never be able to be recorded by these artists, but a boy can always dream.**

I just want to wish all of the 3 people that have ever read this blog a very merry christmas, good healthy living, and to take care of yourselves.

Cheers and God Bless,

b & n
