I recorded this for Old Bushmills Distillery in Ireland. They used it for their holiday promo video. They sent me a bottle of whiskey. It was a merry Christmas.

from And Winter,
released December 1, 2013
Recorded November 11-13, 2012. My good friend Rudy Landa played banjo on this. Man, I love that guy. I know my sons, Lucas Grey and Christopher Avery, and I already recorded "Jingle Bells" for And Winter, but... I was recently contacted about doing a version of "Jingle Bells" for a company's Christmas video. The videographer said, "we love your version of the song, but the kids will not work for what we are doing. The video is for Bushmills Irish Whiskey." Understandably so. I went straight to my office and started working on about seven different variations. They liked this one the best. You can check out their Christmas video over here... youtu.be/17BJ3da8F_M. Thanks, Bushmills!
