A few weeks ago I fielded a request from a longtime reader to post some Jethro Tull, namely Bourée (one of Tull's earliest hits and a signature tune of the group). Because it's so (relatively) well known, I demurred, saying there's no real point in having this blog if we're just posting something you can get on the radio, etc.
That was that. It was? Well, a couple of weeks later, I was gathering together some Christmas music to post, and I came across mention of a Jethro Tull Christmas album! It's only a few years old, includes seasonal material, including newly recorded versions of their old stuff. For whatever reason, Bourée is considered Christmas music (Ian Anderson originally adapted it from a minor Bach piece for lute), so here it is. Happy Christmas!

Sounds like Christmas to ME! Nice!
Are you gonna "make it through December" with your stockpile of U'll neva walk all alone? ;-)
In light of the recent concert, you might be interested in the Beatles doing Zep:

Or not...
Merry Christmas! Bouree!
Glad to see you're having a great time with your Christmas guest(s) and not on the puter. I guess that means I shouldn't post on the Spurs game or nuttin....
yeah, nobody's reading this thing at the moment. but better a win falls in the woods than a loss!
The mark of a champion in all sport is winning when not played well. That definitely defined our effort yesterday! CYA tomorrow!
HO! HO! HO!
