My father-in-law, Martinus Hus, was from Holland. He lived through
the war, survived intense poverty, suffered abuse, and experienced
extreme hardship. He was a gentle husband, a loving father to his three
kids, a wicked skier, and a collector of old, scratchy sweaters. He
was always quick with a big smile and a welcoming, Dutch hello. He was
European, so of course, he loved Christmas. He had little charming
songs and tasty recipes that gave the season a special spark and a
richness that isn't felt too much these days.
Before
he passed away, I was able to capture him singing one of his favorite
Christmas songs. He and the family would hold hands around the tree and
sing this little tune. I added a tiny Glockenspiel to the recording,
and if you can pronounce that then you might consider tackling the
title; Saa Gaar Vi Rundt Om En Enebaerbusk.
