Carol Ragnarok
In order to entertain students one year in December, I would start class by asking them to pick a Christmas carol and a composer, and I would play the carol in the style of the composer. Eventually, I started posting them online and getting requests from all over the country. My friend John Conahan also contributes to what we have come to call our annual Carol Ragnarok.
