We're having a six hour Christmas party. The music ranges from bluesy Christmas like BB King, Keb Mo, Karen Souza, and Charles Brown titles to torch songs, to the Beatles, Tom Petty and The Screaming Cheetah Wheelies, Springsteen, and noteable ballads such as Diamonds & Rust, Who Knows Where the Time Goes, and Sheryly Crow. It's a swingin' Christmas Party soundtrack that starts out mellow and seasonal and build up energy towards the end of the eveing.
