"Have yourself a tempered 20-20..."

I'm listening to Kenny Burrell's version of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," and it strikes me as fitting for 2020; through his guitar, especially in the intro, Burrell conveys a tempered view of the holiday. There's a turbulent, wistful undercurrent in the tune with glimmers of hope.  If that's not fitting for this year, I'm not sure what carol would be.  I think the next time I play it, I'll segue it with Stevie Wonder's version of "The Christmas Song."  I prefer my optimism in ascending order--and, after a year like this, I imagine a lot of other listeners do, as well.
