 Wrapping up recent Christmas party, The Flood UN-wrapped its new anthem to winter, this mashup of “Moscow Nights” with “Greensleeves.”

 Christmas is usually a pretty raucous time in our band room, with old friends coming back around and new friends ... well, new folks just starting to figure us out. Yes, indeed, we do tend to take those tidings of comfort and joy at their word. 

 
And our holiday celebration is especially memorable if we’ve got that jolly ol’ Jim Rumbaugh in the room, as we did at a festive gathering at the Bowen House last weekend. 

To make the season bright, we have to get Jim doing his bluesy Christmas contribution that he calls, “Got My Yule Log Burnin’.”

 One of the first tunes that my cousin Kathy Castner and I did when we started singing together more than 30 years ago is this lovable love song from early in John Denver’s writing career. 

 
So it’s only natural that “For Baby (For Bobbie)” is in the mix whenever Kathy gets to make one of her rare trips from Cincinnati to Huntington to sit in with the band. Here’s a take on the tune from last weekend.

 While it’s not specifically about the holidays, a song that says “all our lives were entwined to begin with” seems especially relevant right about now. Happy Thanksgiving, dear friends.

 Here’s another tune that Danny Cox has brought to us from his decades of lovingly listening to the landmark recordings of Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed. Here’s Danny leading us on “Baby’s Coming Home.”
