Gibson Bluegrass All Stars say Merry Christmas

Earl Scruggs, Sam Bush, Ricky Skaggs and Phil Leadbetter play Jingle Bells for GibsonGibson has posted a video on their web site featuring their top bluegrass endorsers playing a lively version of Jingle Bells. The All Stars consist of Earl Scruggs on banjo, Sam Bush and Ricky Skaggs on mandolins, and Phil Leadbetter on dobro. They are accompanied by Randy and Gary Scruggs on guitar and bass, respectively.

Each of them takes a break on Jingle Bells – except the bass – and Earl Scruggs is in fine form. All of them seem to have been enjoying this very much.

The video runs for just over three and a half minutes, and the site shows a link to download a free iPod version of the video. When I followed that link and tried to save the file, the “Save As Source” option was not available. You may need to use the right click (ctrl click for Mac) “Download Linked File” option from the main video page in order to get the video file, in the .M4v format.
