Holiday Music Lessons

Henry just wants to learn Greensleeves. He's got some issues though. He can't decide whether to play his cornet or the drum set. Little Lena is called upon to accompany on piano. She gets the arrangement a bit mixed up in the beginning. They have a little fun, then they get it right. The teacher Jean Pierre is tough, but fair. In the end, they all have a laugh. Greensleeves is good to go! Time for Eggnog ya'll!
Ok, so the real story: Every Weekly Beats year I do a song sampling my daughter playing a holiday piano song, usually one for her winter recital. So we recorded her playing some Greensleeves, classic. I asked her make it swing. Nailed it. Then I played drums along with that. Added in some bass and extras in Ableton. Wanted some fun voice samples. Super happy I quickly found this one on samplesswap.org, called "laughing-record-vaudeville-routine-1923." In some ways it kind of fit our day of playing around.
One more week! Wow!
