Little Drummer Boy

      If I posted this before I'm sorry --- you know my memory --- non-existent but I just love this video of The Little Drummer Boy by Pentatonix ~~~ an American a cappella group of five vocalists, Scott Hoying, Kirstie Maldonado, Mitch Grassi, Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola, originating from Arlington, Texas.
     Quick, turn off anything else making sound and turn up your volume to listen to this a cappella group sing Little Drummer Boy.....

      For this old grandma some of the sounds are a little strange -- I don't like singers to mess with carols. I want them to sound like I expect them to sound -- but overall I love them! Listen to an entire song before you decide if you like it or not.  Since I can not carry a tune in a bucket I am amazed at what these talented people can do with their voices.  If you listen to any of these links let me know what you think. Bet you smile!
                       Merry Christmas!

  1. There is something fascinating. almost memorizing, about watching this group sing, or make musical sounds.
    I do prefer traditional renditions, but this group is pretty amazing.
