Christmas Music, II

We're in the middle of our Holiday Pops madness--we're doing six concerts this weekend. These can be a real drag, depending on what music is programmed or who our guest artist is. Fortunately our soloist is a great musician and I'm enjoying hearing him play. His name is Sam Stryke and he's originally from our home town. He's now a jingle writer in Chicago who's most famous for writing the theme music to the Real Men of Genius ad campaign for Bud Light--go figure. I've really been enjoying this piece that he's been performing during each concert which has nothing to do with Bud Light, thankfully.

This is his version of Still, Still, Still which has always been one of my favorite carols. Check it out and see what you think. If you like it, you can hear full samples of his Christmas disc at his website.
