Silver Bells

"In the air there's a feeling of Christmas".

Silver Bells, composed by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans was first performed by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell in the motion picture The Lemon Drop Kid, released in March 1951. The first recorded version was by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards on September 8, 1950.

Here is my version.

Hi Margaret,

Interesting voicing you have used for this one. This has been sung by Bing Crosby, Martina McBride, Jim Reeves, Dean Martin, Michael Bublé, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley ...

Here is the one from the film The Lemon Drop Kid sung by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell.

Hi Margaret,


Always nice to hear Christmas songs and this one is no exception, a well played piece with a good varied selection of voices

All the best, Brian007

Hi Margaret,
I enjoyed that one.
I've done some bell ringing at my church
where I also play the organ but never at the same time
as you have done.
Well played
Regards Don

Hi there I have played from the age of 13 and all my music is played in a sort of dance tempo style. Have worked in nearly all the North East clubs over the years. That gave me a good grounding. Cheers.
