I initially had the thought that I would do a series of Christmas music duets this year. However, looking back on this list of music, I realized that it was a rather huge task to put these songs together, to make special arrangements for them, film them and then process the videos, aside from the fact that there would be too many repeat songs. However, before I decided against doing the duets, I invited one of my guitar students to do a duet with me. So...
Meet Caleb Vaughan, a very talented young man who is brilliant with music theory, plays the guitar really well. I'm happy to introduce him to you. I'm sure he'll have a wonderful career (or side gig) as a guitarist and musical entertainer. Thanks for joining in, Caleb!

"Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" was written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie. The earliest known recorded version of the song was by banjoist Harry Reser and his band on October 24, 1934 featuring Tom Stacks on vocal, the version shown in the Variety charts of December 1934. The song was a sheet music hit, reaching number 1. The song was also recorded for Victor Records on September 26, 1935 by Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra with vocals by Cliff Weston and Edythe Wright.
The song is a traditional Christmas standard and has been covered by numerous recording artists. Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters reached the Billboard charts briefly in 1947 with it.

An 8 bar blues progression that had to be shortened to 8 because my looper, at the time, didn't have the space to store anything larger.
