The Christmas season is here! Emmett arranged this version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and we thought it would be the perfect song to kick off the season. We had some problems keeping the fire going behind us so Aaron had to jump in between each take to get it started again. He also is rocking the @bassproshops hat quite well haha.

Christmas chords are not bluegrass chords, so our hands are having to do double time (Matt and Ellen's especially). They are brutal and show up in every song, but sound so fun and Christmassy!!

Venue: The Ozark Mill restaurant at Finley Farms [ Ссылка ]
Not only does this converted watermill look incredible, it has been a feat of engineering. The whole timber-frame building was rolled 80 feet onto new concrete foundations to protect it from any flood waters - it took three weeks, moving a few feet a day!

►LYRICS - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years
We all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas

Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

(They gather near to us once more)
Through the years
We all will be together (We all will be together)
If the fates allow (I hope the fates allow)
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

An' have yourself a merry little Christmas now
(Have a merry, merry Christmas now)
Have yourself a merry little Christmas now
