CMT is airing a heartwarming musical celebration of the season with Ricky Skaggs and his talented family sharing songs from his new album, A Skaggs Family Christmas, Volume 1.   Special guest Alison Krauss joins the Skaggs family to sing an angelic rendition of "O Come All Ye Faithful."  In an interview with CMT.com, Skaggs says his boyhood Christmases in rural Eastern Kentucky were much simpler than celebrations today.  "My dad would get the guitar out, and we'd sing," he recalls. "Lot of times, we'd just sit around and sing gospel songs because it was such a spiritual time of year" . . .  To read the full story, go here

 We've also  really been enjoying the new CD "A Skaggs Family Christmas", especially since there is lots of Bourgeois playing to be heard on it. Whenever you hear Cody Kilby playing on the CD you are hearing his Brazilian Vintage D.  Ricky Skaggs is playing his Brazilian D (the fancy guitar he nicknamed "Liberace" (pictured above) on most things except on the new song "Love Came Gently" which features the OM with Figured Mahogany & Adirondack that we built for him last year.

Bourgeois Guitars are featured on these new CD's offered by  Skaggs Family Records  :  "A Skaggs Family Christmas",  the grammy nominated " Cherryholmes" and the fine new CD by Keith Sewell "Love is a Journey".
