I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

They all sound quite good to me, but "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is definitely my top pick here. She gives this a fairly understated, but emotionally loaded jazz reading.
She sings it in such a way to sound like she's really thinking about what the words mean. Most performances of the song seem a bit bloodless to me, but this one really brings out the religious nature of the lyric- the stuff about saving our souls from Satan's power and such.
Thank you Ms. Jones, and a joyous holiday to you as well.
