about
Recorded in our living room in November of 2011. It's a fitting song to end our time together. Thanks for listening. -Joel
I had recorded a number of different picking patterns to accompany Aimée's voice, but she preferred the simple strumming of the Kretzmann acoustic. The open spaces left room for an organ track from our 1960 Hammond M and some Ebow on the 1978 Gibson Road Artist.
At the Christmas recording session in October we were joking with our friends that a song like Silent Night really needs big drums... turns out, yup. Aimée took a mallet to her Mapex maple kick drum: that's the thumping you hear in the second verse around "shepherd's quake at the sight".

lyrics
Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight
glories stream from heaven afar
heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from your holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth, Jesus, Lord at thy birth
