Mr. Rogers: Is that your instrument...a bass? It looks like a violin, but it's a lot bigger isn't it? Prog musician: It's a hell of a lot bigger! Da violin is a little wimpy thing! Mr. Rogers: Can you say wimpy? Prog musician: Wimpy, wimpy thing. Mr. Rogers: I like the way you say that, did ya know that? Prog musician: I do now? Hell, you're easily amused aren't you? I say wimpy, wiggly, whatever? Mr. Rogers: Yeah..I know what you mean. Ya know something, I like what your face does when you play. It sort of gets all folded up. Prog musician: Yea..well someone told me once that my face when I play the bass..looks like a fruit or something. It just keeps flashing at you and real ugly sometimes like rubber Mr. Rogers: Yeah..I know what ya mean. Tell me some of the things ya think about when you're playing...the images..because of course ..when you were playing I thought about things like sheep and candies, fresh little candies, do you think about those things too? Prog musician: Oh...I basically think about my financial situation. I think about every note I play in a space, I mean out into space and I am workin' cheap . Mr. Rogers: Must be sort of a struggle keepin' your band together? Prog musician: Oh man, especially when you be movin' piano man that is the worst. I worked as a mover for 2 years and I've also made pizza. Mr. Rogers: And so now you're playing music and so the story sort of has a happy ending doesn't it? Prog musician; UH...sort of a happy ending? We just got the shaft from the record company... Mr. Rogers Awww..that's too bad. Prog musician: They promised to pay us a certain amount of royalties..which amounted to nothing Mr. Rogers: Oh, that's too bad Prog musician: I'm sick of this crap...getting the sh-t end of the stick! Mr. Rogers: Sure, sure..I know whatcha mean..sure Well I'm sure a lot of people out there would like to know what a big strong guy like you eats to be so big, what he eats to play like that...can you tell us that? Prog musician: Well...I eat a lot of garbage food. Chicken from a chain store or rubber breakfast sandwiches, blatter puffs, diesel fuel, rum gasoline or even the disease of the day sometimes Mr. Rogers: Do you ever have Egg Mcmuffin? Prog musician: Sometimes or turkey jerky strudel. Mr. Rogers: Can you say Egg mcmuffin? Prog musician: Egg-a-meffin..yeah Mr. Rogers: Well I know what I'd like to do now, I'd like to hear you play some bass. Prog musician: Well...I'd like to do that! Mr. Rogers: Well...were gonna go to the magic prog kingdom. Prog musician:, Oh no man..it's too early for me...I gotta drive. |

Does anyone here think that Keith Emerson X-mas CD from the '90s is any good? I heard some of it, and it was a little too sugary for my tastes.

I've always liked The ELP-style cover of The Little Drummerboy by The December People (from album Sounds Like Christmas):
http://youtu.be/C0MEnsmK56M But Pentatonix a capella version is even better IMO: http://youtu.be/qJ_MGWio-vc California Guitar Trio also have a nice Christmas album. |

If anyone can decipher exactly what Moshkito is on about then I advise they check themselves into the nearest hospital immediately.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I have always felt Tull's Songs From The Wood is very appropriate for Christmas, though not strictly christmas themed, Solstice Bells is really my favorite Christmas song of all time
also, Magma's Felicite Thosz

There is a ton of classical Christmas music, just google for it. There's also a major selection in one YouTube vid.
Now, all we need is some prog bands to do versions of these songs, and we are set for life

Have this on cd with bonus tracks that are out-takes. I like Paul McCartney's acoustic Christmas songs and the strange chat between John and Yoko toward the end of the 69' message. "I'll be a good boy mommy...as long as you get me a teddy bear". Very sad to hear the 4 of them talking and laughing care-free..at a time when tragic events of their future were distant by years. |

I love the Beatles Christmas flexis, which they recorded for their fan club every year from 1963 to 1969, then in 1970 they were all collected into probably the best Christmas album by any band listed on PA. Not necessarily all music, but very entertaining.
