Merry Christmas from Brainjo

A few weeks ago I received a request to work out the holiday classic “Carol of the Bells” for clawhammer banjo. As I set about creating an arrangement, my mind and imagination began to wander.

It then occurred to me it could make the perfect vehicle for the return of the von Turknett Family Singers.

So yesterday the kids and I got to work, finishing up just in time for the big day.

As surprising at it may seem, no adult beverages were consumed in the making of the video:

Carol of the Bells


I’ll be back again tomorrow for the solo clawhammer version of this tune, a nice way to unwind for some of you after the big day today.

Here was the debut video of the von Turknett Family Singers in 2013.

Frosty Bells, 2013
