...I figure with 400 or so versions I could make this go on for an hour, but as I found more this year I started using smaller excerpts instead, so for instance you hear Bootsy, Smokey Robinson, and the Blues Magoos in pretty quick succession. In almost every case I used an excerpt from a complete MP3 of the tune I have, so I'll post a link to an archive of 75 or so versions of Jingle Bells shortly. This archive should be an invaluable tool to those who come after.
