“I venture to say the same about Christmas music commencing prior to December 25th each year”
As a musician, and one who is known for improvisation and never playing the same thing twice, Christmas music drives me crazy. It doesn’t put me in the mood, it drives me out of the mood!
Yes. It undermines sanity, too, jazz guy.
Understand your sentiment. I’m learning barbershop music now for an early December concert! “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” in mid-October (when I began to learn it) just isn’t right! Plus all this talk about snow in the songs. I just moved to Texas. Go figure.
