Gonna be a quick one today because we are all so busy. But let it be known that Music Fog is proud to call Eric Brace and Peter Cooper friends. They make beautiful music with powerful harmony. They both have backgrounds as journalists, and that adds keen insight to the lyrics they write. On the eve of the holiday, it is time to slow down. We bring you a thought provoking statement propelled by today's work commitments, may they give way to the well-earned kick back. We hope you can do that today...and tomorrow too! As a society, we don't relax nearly enough, and for some, the holiday itself must act as the enforcer. To quiet the chatter, external and internal, to be able to hear oneself at "normal" is a gift in itself.

Christmas Eve. May your shopping and wrapping and prep be done. May you have made a list and checked it twice. May you be surrounded by people you love. May you have peace in your heart. Today's video offering was recorded during Music Fog's Americana Fest sessions in Nashville this past September, but obviously with today in mind. Here's a tune written by their friend Jon Byrd and featured on their latest CD, Master Sessions. Eric Brace and Peter Cooper "Silent Night."
