While listening to a Christmas LP by harpist Sylvia Woods last night, I was surprised to see that an upcoming medley of "The 12 Days Of Christmas" and "Deck The Halls" clocked in at only two minutes and 15 seconds.
I thought, "Although neither of these carols are top-tier ones to me, I'm curious to hear how she's able to play both of them in just over two minutes."
Smartly, Woods alternates between the two carols and plays only select verses from "The 12 Days..."
After hearing them that way, I wish more artists would take a cue from her on those two carols. "...12 Days..." sounds less tedious, and listeners can still hear the essence of both carols.
