Warm Holiday greetings to all visitors and friends and family! It’s a special time of the year for everyone and a great time of the year for us who actually live in a climate zone which produces unique seasons. Ahh the smell of the winter air in Manhattan around this time of the year.

I started messing around on the keyboard improvising some atypical, yet not incredibly out of the box, changes to “The Christmas Song” – kind of Mark Isham by nature. He has that lovely wide trumpet – almost fugelhorn sound that I truly enjoy.
Here is the MP3 and below is the sheet music sketch to follow along :
