“I Will Remain” – Matthew And The Atlas
Nothing like a little bluegrass to keep us going on a rainy/foggy/frickin’ cold Monday morning. Stay tuned for a treat at 1:15…A Deliverance-worthy banjo cameo. Crazy, foot-stompin’ good.
A short film by filmmaker Matt Morris about a barbershop in Drexel, NC where they cut hair in the front and get down with bluegrass music in the back.
A Very YouTube Christmas
Above is a mix of a few Christmas renditions I came across on YouTube. Hope they help set the mood for the Holidays.

Darren Criss – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, and 5. Kevin Massey, Jamison Scott & Justin Patterson – I’ll Be Home For Christmas.

Impressionist Jim Meskimen gets into the holiday spirit by reading Twas’ The Night Before Christmas and singing The Christmas Song, both in a myriad of different celebrity voices.
Kelly Rowland, Michae Bublé and Naturally 7 perform “White Christmas” on the ITV show “Michael Bublé: Home For Christmas”.
Bublé performed the track with Shania Twain on the record, Kellie Pickler on the US Christmas Special, and now with Kelly Rowland on the UK Christmas Special. This arrangement is fantastic – a great tribute to the Drifters’ original but revamped just enough – and turning it into a duet was a great move. My favorite is Shania, then Kelly Rowland, then Kellie Pickler last, but they all three bring something wonderful to the song.
