Holiday Medleys- Who wants to be in the band?

[Doreen Peri]

I'm working on arranging two medleys on the piano for the holidays...

I'll play the keys... whatchya all gonna play, hmmmm?

Join in, OK? everybody sing! (Now, listen, it really doesn't matter what you believe in to play this music... it is beautiful music .... so? Who's in?)

Medley One- (Not totally holiday music, but some.)
1- Favorite Things
2- Greensleeves - What Child is This?
3- Scarborough Fair
4- God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
5- Favorite Things reprise

and

Medley Two
1- It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
2- Noel
3- Silent Night
4- O Holy Night

OK, so I need a flute player and a guitarist and some vocalists, maybe some percussive bells and xylophone... hmmm.... any other ideas?

Where's the band, man?

I'm playing our tune.......

[judih]

oh yeah, i'll be in that vocal om for the first set.

next one will depend on how far the music carries me away.
might require a little spiced wine and a thorough fireplace mind

[Lightning Rod]

we need to add The Little Drummer Boy

a rump a bum bum

lightning eight day candles or singing songs

happy happy, sister

[Doreen Peri]

I've got that spiced wine
and music in time
with the senses,
the warmth of
a fired up flame...
girl, this one's
gotchyer name
on it!

one and two and three
and four, let's sing!
what are we waiting
for?

[judih]

we got ourselves a clear crisp morning (with a chance of rain)...i say let's go!

Are you goin to scarborough fair.........

[Doreen Peri]

parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme...
remember me to one who lives there..
she once was a true love of mine...

raindrops on roses
and whiskers on kittens

god rest ye merry gentlemen
let nothing you dismay....

yes!

snow in the phar left? no way!
it is a miracle falling from the sky!
sing on, my friend... you and i..
and we'll get the little drummer boy to play!

[judih]

he was standing on the side of the road
rain fallin on his shoes
headin out for the old east coast
lord knows he's paid some dues
gettin thru, Tangled up in Blue

for she once was a true love of mine.........

[Doreen Peri]

mamma's in the basement
mixin' up some medicine
i'm on the pavement
thinkin' 'bout the govt
get rich get well
hang around the inkwell
look out kid, it's somethin' you did
god knows when but you'll do it again

it came upon a midnight clear
remember me to one who lives there
brown paper packages tied up with string
these are a few of my favorite
medleys

heh

[judih]

and the hum lingers on

[WIREMAN]

"chestnuts roastin' on an open fire
jack frost nippin' at your nose"
can ya hear me????...doin' my nat king cole.........wired

[judih]

could it be?
is that the ding ding ding of reindeer
or is that the maniacal elves
pissing on my grass hut

never mind them
...and a partridge on a pear tree, ..uh, innn
