Who does the version of "Carol of the Bells" that Rush Limbaugh featured on his 3rd hour Christmas Eve program? I believe it's the third song in the program, if you click on the .asx link above.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

I didn't think that Rush played anything but Mannheim Steamroller during the Christmas season.

It's mostly MS, but this particular version of Carol of the Bells is too jazzy. MS's version is nice, too.

Don't know. It had a Dave Brubeck flavor to it.

My favorite rendition is by the Great American Melodrama Players in Oceano, CA, who play the entire Carol of the Bells with spoons on glassware filled to various heights with water. You have to see (and hear) it to believe it.

Thanks for the link to some nice music for a Christmas morning.

He does occasionally play some Christmas-flavored tracks from Paul Shanklin.

Most of them are spoofs of traditional Christmas carols, inserting the names of notorious Dems/liberals into the regular melody of the music.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (in you new home)!
