Friday Surprise: Celebrity Caroling With The Decemberists.

[Byron Beck]

A party was held at the Southwest home of Bill Dickey and David Wagner. Billed as a "holiday party with a purpose" it was a benefit for the Oregon League of Conservation Voters. Imbibing in all that is good and coffee nudgey, late in the evening the greenies gathered around Dickey's piano and joined Jenny Conlee and Colin Meloy from The Decemberists for a little sing-a-long. I managed to tape a few bars...that is until Mr. Meloy realized I was filming him.
So, without further ado, live from Southwest Portland, here's Christmas with Colin and Jenny:

There was maybe an inch of space closer that you could have gotten....it's so not like you to hang back that much. Didn't you have your endoscope handy? I'm sure Colin would have loved some minimally invasive surgery in the name of art.

I love that look he gives you when he finally realizes it! Priceless!

That is just surreal. Why is everybody talking over their carol? I'd sit down and shut up if Colin Meloy and Jenny Conlee were singing to me.
