MIKE.....Changing the rhythm's & tempo's from "traditional" is fun.....When LIBERACE started on the radio in the Los Angeles area...(I was VERY VERY young)....he did many many pieces in several rhythyms...great audience response....Maybe you are too young to even know who LIBERACE was???

For Jingle Bell Rock I use Shuffle Boogie @148 & Comet Rock @132....Try the R & R Pads with this one....Shuffle Boogie may be a 5K or 6K rhythm...Comet Rock from the 7K

For Mary's Boy Child I like the Calypso...tempo probably @120....Latin 1 pads would probably be good....The Calypso from either the 5K or 6K...probably...

Having fun with music works best for me!
