Please note that the mp3 versions of these songs that you can download from my SoundClick page sound a lot better than these MIDI files and that the CD sounds even better than that. Feel free to use the MIDI files on your website, but please provide a link back to this page.

Up on the Housetop
Like you, I had always thought that the name of this song was "Up on the Rooftop". Apparently, we were wrong. Up-tempo bop. MIDI
pic
Carol of the Bells / God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
Salsa with "Cool Ranch" flavor. MIDI
pic
We Wish You a Merry Christmas / Joy to the World
If Bach were alive today...he would be more than 300 years old. MIDI
pic
Deck the Halls
With Bo's of Diddley and your Christmas will not fade away, Buddy. Or, I Want Candy Cane. MIDI
pic
We Three Kings
I found this music box lying in the street.
Really.
MIDI
pic
Jingle Bells v1.2
New Orleans style. MIDI
pic
Angels We Have Heard on High
Performed by Techno Prisoners. MIDI
pic
Ave Maria
If Schubert were alive today...this would probably kill him. MIDI
pic
Jingle Bells v1.1
Try using "upsot" the next time you play Scrabble®. MIDI
pic
Silent Night / Away in a Manger.
An arrangement that just oozes niceness. MIDI
pic
What Child Is This?
Musicologists speculate that this English hymn, better known as "Greensleeves", was probably introduced to the residents of the Ivory Coast of Africa by Christian missionaries in the early part of the 19th century. MIDI
pic
O Holy Night
If Mozart were alive today...he'd be really upset about that "Amadeus" movie. MIDI
pic
Little Town of Bethlehem
You know, where they used to make all that steel. Mid-tempo Bop. MIDI
pic
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing / Il Est Né
The striking similarities between these two songs offer conclusive proof that Christmas carols were written by Ancient Astronauts; what other possible explanation could there be? MIDI
pic
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
...and struck the Earth with colossal force! MIDI
pic
O Come All Ye Faithful
Be on the lookout for fake Salvation Army bands. Thousands are taken in by this scam every year. MIDI

The following songs are not available as MIDI files, but you can download the mp3 versions on my SoundClick page or buy my incredible CD that you should buy right now.

The Twelve Days of Christmas
For years, Uncle Dave has been unable to come up with an instrumental version of this song that wasn't incredibly boring. Until now.
pic
Good King Wenceslas
After a hard day of gathering winter fuel, Uncle Dave likes to pound out some barrelhouse blues on the old Steinway, accompanied by "Traps" the Christmas elf on drums and "Stretch" the bass-playing Christmas angel.
pic
The First Noel
This song reminds me of a typewriter I used to have; it had no "L". Featuring Lenny P on sax and Yo Mama on cello.
pic
The Holly and the Ivy
This song has become quite popular lately, but everyone does a huge, overblown arrangement for it. I've done a small, underblown setting for woodwinds and harp.
pic
O Tannenbaum
Berlin to Bavaria and back.
pic
We Wish You a Merry Christmas / Joy to the World (Switched-on version)
If Bach were alive today...and had a synthesizer.
pic
Auld Lang Syne
Peace and love version.

Holy Guacamole! Uncle Dave is now in a Rock and Roll band, the wonderfully named Wonder. Check us out and be sure to buy our CD or something really bad could happen to you.

Also, please check out my children's music site, mp3 for kidz. Like Uncle Dave's Xmas Tunes, it features arrangements that bring something new and amusing to the music. It's music for kids that won't drive Mom and Dad crazy.
