LeRoy Andersen's Sleigh Ride

Uncle Al,

Lovely clip and of course Carpenter is The Maestro bar none.
As I am currently working up Leroy Anderson's original piano version of same I have already stolen a gander at several U-tube clips of that tune, including that one by Carpenter.

As a 'blow 'em all out the front door'. for Church on Christmas Day I am honing a quiet verse of 'Hark the Herald...' blending into 'we wish you a merry......' and seamlessly into a precis'd version of 'Sleigh Ride', which might raise a few eyebrows, but what the hell!

Tom.

This little 100 yr. old baby has just been restored and even though it only has a few stops and one manual it emits an amazing sound.

It'll be my first venue on Christmas Day & there'll probably only be about 50 punters there, but they'll get the same fayre as I'll serve up in our Parish Godbox at 11.30.

I'll also bet it'll be for first time anyone's played Leroy Anderson on it!
