A Christmas Concert in support of the new CD, 
"Jingle All The Way
"



Christmas music is sprinkled liberally throughout this show. In addition to the

specific Christmas songs, they show up in both Victor
's and Bela
's solos.



There
's some enjoyable interplay between the band during,


"Have Yourselves a Merry Little Christmas
" when everyone

plays one note in the progression.



Also, there really is a Hawaiian version of the 
"12 Days of

Christmas
". The band borrows from that song for help in

this version. Bela also decribes how they will play each

day in a different time signature.

Another nice thing is that the crowd at this venue always seems to be very quiet so there is virtually no crowd noise during the songs - especially during the EXTREMELY quiet parts of Victor
's solo. BTW - the laughter you hear when the cell phone rings in the audience during his solo is because of Victor
's reaction to the phone.

Aloha from Maui and Mele Kalikimaka!
