A swinging harmonica themed approach to fifteen Holiday favorites. Featuring Bruce Kurnow on Diatonic, chromatic, echo and bass harmonicas. Also on harmonetta & keyboards. REVIEW:'It's no joke. You get to hear 'Carol of the Bells' done in hard-blues, harmonica style. He knows every harmonica style there is, and can play the dirty blues, too. I can't wait to play it on the air. This is the kind of thing that makes the phones light up. Light up just like a Christmas tree.
