Gentle and soft she says
Look yonder, it’s dark outside
Light up a candle and burn the firewood
We’re staying in tonight
Shake the sheets flat and smooth
Pour the finest wine with tenderness
These days I agree, the answer of your question
Is this what we can call happiness?
Is this what we call happiness?
I’ll be all right around Christmas
After New Year’s Eve I always get a little lost
Strive to walk down the seasonal path
And put an arm around Jack Frost
The evergreen peaks the ceiling
TV’s gone and the phone is off
It’s nine degrees below zero
“We ain't going nowhere, my love”
Cloves, laurel and gingerbread
brings winter to the stew
I’ve got no fear for missing out
You’re here for me and me for you
You’re here for me and me for you
I’ll be all right around Christmas
After New Year’s Eve I always get a little lost
Strive to walk down the seasonal path
And put an arm around Jack Frost

Všechno Dobré
by Šimanský Niesner
supported by 7 fans who also own “An Arm Around Jack Frost”
Šimanský and Niesner draw inspiration from American folk and blues of the 1950s. You can notice links to contemporary guitarists such as James Blackshaw or Daniel Bachman, or drone forms that resemble John Kolodij’s creations. This album is light, subtle, and brilliantly demonstrates building a narrative from the sound of an acoustic guitar and through monotonous and resonant long forms.

Solstice: A Tribute to Steffen Basho-Junghans
by Various Artists
supported by 7 fans who also own “An Arm Around Jack Frost”
A wonderful tribute LP to unghans, who I wasn't aware of until yesterday, but who obviously meant a lot to many & old friend Buck Curran in particular. It's a wonderfully diverse collection, with its fair share of contemplative pieces, unsurprising considering the mortality LP premise, but it's rarely sombre, sometimes life celebratory, often experimental & a constantly surprising look at just what the instrument is capable of. I'm sure Junghans would approve.
