The Christmas season began with the arrival of my brother Jason on December 19th and the next evening we went to hear MOJO at the Gillioz. This show of yuletide tunes was the best and most well designed performance I've ever heard from this band.
There were three singers with different approaches:
Christin Bohrisch scatted "Jingle Bells" and sang "Sleigh Ride.”
Laura French, with great stage presence, sang "Merry Christmas Baby" and "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?”
Angelia King delivered a big sound with "Cool Yules" and "This Christmas.”
The band brought jazzy charts. One of the Christmas pieces felt like it was deconstructed, then rebuilt throughout the song. Congrats to Randy Hamm for providing such a great evening.

Other stuff through the holidays:
Movie at the Moxie - Next Goal Wins: There are many misfit and unusual soccer players in this movie about a coach finding redemption in American Samoa. Funny and uplifting characters.
Route 66 Car Museum: Me, Jen and Jason had our first visit to this local site. Very interesting.
Mini golf at Fun Acres: Had good strokes and bad strokes, just had fun. Beautiful weather.
A few walks until the weather became too cold.
The cat had fun, too. She likes to drink from the bird bath.
Best wishes to you all for a peaceful 2024.
