Now what is a song about a green mouse doing with a classic Christmas song? 🐀🎄 A version of the story goes something like the following…church mice ate the bellows of the organ one year, making it unplayable. Out of this, Franz Gruber wrote this well-known song melody that could be played with just a guitar & voice(s). So I thought it’d be fun to pay a little homage to the rodents somewhat responsible for this classic piece. Enjoy!
