Tony,

I could not agree with you more. I am a traditionalist but I can certainly enjoy a jazz (or other genre) version of a Christmas Song... as long as it is in good taste.

Sometimes I accompany my wife to Hobby Lobby, a big box hobby and decorating chain... and they play instrumental music so cleverly scored and played... it may take me a while to recognize the old hymn... but I am always pleased to know the melody is "alive and well" and what a comfort that is to me.

Merry Christmas, my friend... thanks for sharing. ----Dave
