OK, me and a good musician friend of mine had a little gig in one of the high schools near where I live just before christmas last year. The song we are performing is basically our own variations over the beloved christmas song "Santa Claus is Coming Tonight", complete with several unexpected twists and turns (including those always enjoyable odd time-sigs!)..
He is on electric piano, and myself on the drums, I hope you all enjoy this one!
 Comments would be appreciated

Thanks a lot!
We couldn't find a bassoonist. Such a underrated instrument..  ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

Indeed. It's probably my favorite instrument (after the drums, of course); I've always loved the sound of it ever since I first heard Gryphon's Red Queen to Gryphon Three. -------------

Nice work Blowie. You should have asked your bassist friend to play with you. He's just plain awesome.

We have talked about working more together this year now that we got a bassist as well. All three of us have very good chemestry with each other and both of these christmas massacres took us only 2 hours each to write and practise in the studio. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

We basically improvised all the way. I started playing the 6/4 rhythm and we just jammed for 10 minutes. Espen added the guitar and mixed the whole thing down afterwards and the whole track was completed within an hour!
