Joy to the world! It's Christmas and I don't have access to a piano, so I sat down with some music software and my trusty Reader's Digest "Merry Christmas Songbook" and recorded some accompaniment parts for your (and my) enjoyment. I also transposed the songs to make them easier to sing for my lower voice (highest note is C above middle C).
