THIS WEEK IN HOMEY WARMTH
by Dave Wielenga

If Kerry Getz had been in Bethlehem for the Very First
Christmas, there's absolutely no doubt she would have cut
short her encore at the Following Yonder Starbucks, grabbed
her guitar and donkeyed on down to the Club Manger to carol
the last couple of choruses with the rest of the angels. In fact,
knowing Kerry, we suspect she would have hung around even
later to perform a free solo show - sort of like the Little
Drummer Boy, except of course she's not a boy and, thank God,
would have the sense not to bang a freakin' drum next to a
newborn.

What we never knew until now is what would have been on the
set list. But Getz has released a Christmas album, It's a
Wonderful Life, on the World In Motion label. The 11 songs on
the disc canvas the undulating moods of the season, beginning
with the traditional "Lullay Lully," before bending immediately
into one of Getz's own compositions, "Suspended in
December." It goes on like that, from Old England ("The
Wexford Carol") to vintage Charlie Brown (Vince Guaraldi's
"Christmas Time Is Here"), and from homey warmth ("It's a
Wonderful Life") to, well, songs with names such as "In the
Bleak Mid-Winter" and "In the Rain." Every selection is
arranged and delivered with Getz's achingly grateful style -
even Martin Newell's snickeringly cynical "Christmas In
Suburbia." All we can say is: "Jesus!"
