25: Louisiana Christmas Day

And it's Christmas!

My sister-in-law texted me right around Thanksgiving:
I started before Thanksgiving, as post-election therapy. I'm referring, of course, to playing my Christmas music. Usually in the car, full volume, sometimes in the house, but only with earbuds. (Husband doesn't share my obsession.) And I'd like to recommend a song to you: Aaron Neville’s Louisiana Christmas Day. Wonderfully bayou (if you like that sorta thing). It's style is native to part of the country that was solidly Trump, alas, but I can't NOT play it.


I texted her back and told her I loved it, and that she needed to listen to Sharon Jones singing White Christmas - not that they're similar, but they'll both get you bouncing around the house.



Happy Christmas!

  1. Great end to a great series! Hope you do it again next year. And I'll put in a plug right now: Richard Stolzman (clarinet) playing "Hark!”

    Merry Christmas!
