Speaking of Christmas music there is a little know but incredible 2-CD set recorded by The Fab Four (Beatles tribute band). This incredible little set is beyond description; first of all The Fab 4 manage to nail JPG&R perfectly as their voices and instruments are, for all purposes, the Beatles incarnate... The novelty of this set is that they take Christmas standards and rearrange them to sound like what The Beatles might've done if they got a hold of the songs... For example; "Away in a Manger" is done ala "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" and when "John" sings... "... the little Lord Jesus asleep in the "Hey!" (then the guitar refrain of the original Beatle song)... "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" is done in the style of "When I'm 64" all in all an incredible set of tunes... Anyway I saw a used set go for a little under $9.00 at amazon.com and some for $10.00 I believe... If you're a Beatle-maniac you might want to check it out...
