An interesting and quite professional Christmas Carol appeared on YouTube just before Christmas, played by the Bowen Beer Bottle Band. The music is also appropriate for New Year because each person in the band has two partially filled beer bottles.

Thus, each person can play two notes. Tuning for exact pitch of each note was a challenge. The video is on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-WXEWbPMYc . For more info and photos, click http://bowenbeerbottleband.wordpress.com/faqs/ .
