This has been a most unusual holiday season - we see friends and neighbors online and through video as much as more in person, but old traditions still hold firm.

A lot of sharing going on - and we share sounds from friends and neighbors all over — pianist Bob Alberti shared this video from pianist and trumpeter Randy Waldman which kind of sums some of it all up for the year - with the help of a “big band” created with Kenny G on saxes, Dave Tull, drums; Mike O’Neill, guitar, Carlitos del Puerto, bass and Bob McChesney, trombones.

The singers and such include massive cast of singers, musicians and other performers include Cheryl Hines Johnny Mathis , Jon Lovitz, Richard Marx, Michael Sembello, Ray Romano, Bill Burr, Robert Davi, Martin Short, Nicollette Sheridan, Dolly Parton, Lilliana de los Reyes, Rachael Harris, Angela Anderson, Dave Tull and Norman Lear.

(not really a Christmas tune, but a riff on the melody to “Get me to the Church on Time” will do)

We also share holiday sounds from Kenny Blake, Tania Grubbs, Johnny Costa, Sean Jones, Deanna Witkowski, Joe Negri and a few other surprises.
