Does anyone know if "Carol of the Bells" has ever been performed (or better yet recorded) on pedal steel guitar? I'd pay good money to hear that one done right.

You have to know "Please be Home for Christmas" the old Ben E. King song (The Eagles covered it too). "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Rockin around the Christmas Tree" always go over big as well.

Again, my thanks to all of the suggestions. The other guitarozst and i have made our set lists, which include many of the titles mentioned here.

Lefty, just our of curiousity, does your Gretsch Country Gent have real F holes or painted ones? I have two of them, one of each design, and I think the one with the real F holes is the better of the 2

Hey Mike,after your incident on the bycicle you could do "all I want for christmas is my two front teeth" ala Spike Jones.
