Not even a picture of decked out everygreens, jolly fat men dressed in red velvet or winter globe snow scenes.  Not a bit of spinning here, neither fiber nor tales.  Just lots of holiday music which will hopefully add a bit of zing to your holiday MP3 player.  Welcome to the non traditional seating of the holiday manor.

A very big thank you to all of the musicians that allow their music to be shared on this podcast.  All music is from the podsafe music network 

Please visit the musicians websites and buy their music if you like it. It would be like dropping a little something into their Christmas stockings.

Christmas...it's all about traditions, at least in this podcast. Oh were you looking for somthing about spinning?  Well the only thing spun, are two yarnspinners tales, the first about playing with someone else's toys and the second about her Christmas traditions.  To keep with the theme, there is lots of music in, of course, a traditional style.

All music is from the podsafe music network

And because I want to send a big thank you to all the musicians that kindly shared some holiday music for us, here are their website links.  Go and buy some music from them, their landlords will thank you.

The opening song was It's Christmas Time by Bree Noble

Santa is Coming to Town is by: Andy Buscemi

A Round for Christmas is by: Jim Goodrich

Rise up Shepherd and follow is by: Cat Jahnke

Oh Holy Night is by: The New Autonomous Folksingers

And we close with, Carol of the Bells by: thehipcola

If you heard a strong chorus of Hallelujah! it's because I think I have finally worked out a better audio quality for my voice.  I hope you think so too!

 Join me in my barn today, and learn how to harvest the wonderful fiber angora from a rabbit.  And there's a few rabbits in the music hat too! 

Musical interludes in the barn are from:

     Dancing in November  by Monika Herzig

For our music break, we pulled these rabbits out of the hat:

     Run Rabbit/The Chase  by Brain Buckit 

     Bunny Boiler  Pablo Eskimo

And we close with some country bluegrass from the Smithsonian Archives:

     Rabbit in a Log  by The Stanley Brothers

And as always a thank you for my spinning wheel theme song by Clare Dowling.

All music can be found at the podsafe music network

Next month's podcasts will both be mostly music podcasts, set up for your listening whether you find time to spin, or knit on those have to be done by Christmas socks.  Talk to you then!
