Bill’s Chinee Christmas Tree
.
Going back to our 2020 Christmas jam – a little ditty about Kyle’s adventures with a Temu pre-lit Christmas tree.(Emphasis on the “lit”)

Little Song ’bout Christmas
.
This song was almost titled “Shufflin’ Noah’s Christmas Harmonica Ensemble”, but we took it in another direction.
