Happy Christmas to One And All.



Never mind all of the rubbish going on in the world at the moment and never mind all of the political duplicity. There are people in the world in a far worse situation than we are.

So, let us be positive, look to the future, stay positive, stay safe, raise a glass and have a great Rock 'n' Rolling Lockdown Christmas.

Belshazzar’s Feast and the Sound of Music Charity Concert – Christmas Day, 2020.

Earl Scruggs and Friends Foggy Mountain Breakdown

Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Earl Scruggs is considered the hardest bluegrass song to play!

Earl Scruggs' "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" established the banjo as the star instrument in bluegrass music. That song is still perhaps best known as the accompanying theme for a pair of roving gangsters in Arthur Penn's 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde. A bright and quick tune written by a quiet North Carolina country musician that introduced American bluegrass to new audiences around the world.

Written by Earl Scruggs Earl Scruggs, banjo - Glen Duncan, fiddle - Randy Scruggs, acoustic guitar - Steve Martin, 2nd banjo solo - Vince Gill, 1st electric guitar solo - Marty Stuart, mandolin - Gary Scruggs, harmonica - Albert Lee, 2nd electric guitar solo - Paul Shaffer, piano - Jerry Douglas, dobro - Leon Russell, organ - Glenn Worf, bass - Harry Stinson, drums.

The Lumineers' 'Silent Night' Benefits Independent Music Venues

The Lumineers' new rendition of "Silent Night" serves a higher purpose: The next years’ worth of proceeds from the band's cover of the Christmas classic will benefit the National Independent Venue Association's Emergency Relief Fund in the USA.

Wesley Schultz and Lauren Jacobson's harmonies make this version of "Silent Night" the Lumineers' own. They're accompanied throughout, simply. by Jeremiah Fraites on piano, while strings take the place of their voices to conclude the song.

A video for the Lumineers' version of "Silent Night" spotlights some of the United States' most beloved independent music venues, which have been forced to close for most of 2020 due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
