Christmas Tunes

I love playing Christmas music on the pipes. Many tunes, however, do not translate well to the limited range of the piping scale. The ones that fit, though, sound beautiful, especially in the snowy woods from far away in the shadowy moonlight. They sound great on a street corner too, but the opportunities for busking are limited these days with rigidly enforced State and Municipal ordinances. If you do happen to trot past a busker, please throw in an extra shilling. It's a silent way of saying, "Music is good and pure and worth something. A pox on Toys R Them, Bergdork Goodman and Slacks Fifth Ave!"
