The Diminished 7th Chord could not have existed prior to the temperament of the scale. It arose from the Harmonic Minor Scale which was created post-temperament. They deployed this scale almost immediately after a chosen temperament was accepted. It was basically around the time of Johann Sebastian Bach. In fact, Bach himself was involved in the temperament of the scale. Once that was completed, the 12 so-called "Minor Keys" were created giving us now, 24 keys. Ergo, we get his songbook, "The Well Tempered Clavier," in which he wrote music in all 24 Major and Minor Keys in order to demonstrate their usage. This man helped change musical history altogether, and obviously enough, was a genius beyond comparison. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufz-v2vHtSY

?????? ?????? ????? is my own concoction consisting of merging the song "Jingle Bells" with the song "Silver Bells" and set to a Western Swing feel. I've always loved Western Swing because the 50's style featured some of the hottest southern guitarists around. These boys were jazz-informed while playing country style and always with a wink and a smile. Western Swing isn't Western Swing unless it has a big sense of humor. It's playful music.
?????? ????? is one of the best-known and commonly sung American songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title "The One Horse Open Sleigh" in the autumn of 1857. It was first recorded in 1889 on an Edison cylinder; this recording, believed to be the first Christmas record, is lost, but an 1898 recording also from Edison Records survives.
On the other hand, ?????? ????? is a much more contemporary tune composed circa 1950 by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. The first recorded version was sung by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards on September 8, 1950 with John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra and the Lee Gordon Singers. The recording was released by Decca Records in October 1950. After the Crosby/Richards recording became popular, Hope and Maxwell were called back in late 1950 to reshoot a more elaborate production of the song.

Ancient video (sorry for the low quality) but a decent performance of Georgia On My Mind with Matty D. on tenor sax. I've been having problems uploading videos to YouTube so I used this one as a test.
