Alternative Christmas Music - Deep Cuts Edition

[Ope3]

I don't know how to do the whole "imbed a video" thing - but
there is a great version of "Frosty the Snowman" done by Leon Redbone and Dr. John that is just a hoot.

it was on one of those "A Very Special Christmas" albums that were put out in the late 80's and early 90's to raise funds for some charity.

Here you go...2 pretty distinct vocalists, that's for sure.
