Thank you for expanding on the traditional “jug band” concept. Your arrangement is excellent. I truely cannot wait to hear more from you folk. Maybe a CD, or a tour of “fringe” festivals?

I also found this on YouTube and it definitely put a smile on my face! What a fun idea and a perfect way to “kick back” in time for Christmas. You all should definitely do more songs.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! And yes, great holiday “spirit.”
ULTRA PROPS to KIT! I most certainly know about a gluten-free diet killing my love for beer but never fear Asahi Beer=my love for life

Best to you and yours, Val
Have you considered recording the song from the Monty Python philosophers’ sketch?
Pingback: Christmas Cheer « NotionsCapital
As the late Mr. Welk would have said, “a wunnaful, a wunnaful.” Really terrific — a novelty Christmas song with real musicians and real musicianship, beating the dickens out of, say, synthesized dog barking. I look forward to the BBBB triumphal national tour, and televised concert from Yankee Stadium.
The perfect video to end my Christmas with! Thank you–this was a delight!
You guys are not only talented but OH MY GOSH FUN! It was a real treat to hear your rendition of “Do You Hear What I Hear”…and I can’t wait to dive in and hear what else you have in store for my ears….happy Holidays.
I sent your music to all my friends as my seasonal card this year. Thank you it was so wonderful. Please make a CD!
Awesome!
Since it looks like we’ll do this once-a-year, I think we’ll have a 12-song album ready to go in about 10 years

This is wonderful. The Bowen name is so powerful. I bring attention to our wonderful name on my radio show and you do so with your musical stylings. Long live the world wide family Bowen!
I think this is a great alternative to those expensive church handbells…
