Carol of the Bells (Instrumental) - The Petersens (LIVE)

Emmett did it again with this beautiful arrangement of "Carol of the Bells"! Also, I really enjoyed Aaron's camera work. It's hard to keep instrumentals visually interesting and Aaron knocked it out of the park.

P.S. There are still tickets to see our Christmas Show here in Branson! Then we will take a break until mid March to tour, rest our voices, and come up with a brand new setlist.

Their rendition of this carol is one of the best I've heard. Ellen's banjo and Matt's guitar express the gaiety of the words. Well done all!
