Vanilla (Traditional) changes for Christmas Carols & Songs
I appreciate all the work the Moderators do, and all the community contributions. But... 
It seems like every Christmas when I pull iRealPro out and try to play along with a Piano player and singers, I always get complaints about the non-traditional changes.
While it's fun to jazz-it-up on some of these tunes, a lot of people just want the comfort of the old, traditional carols, the way they've heard them since childhood.
I see some of the songs in "Holiday 100" marked "(Jazz)" or "(Alt)", so those are to be avoided in the situation I'm talking about. But when someone starts singing a song, and the Piano player gets going (because he's played 40 years and can play it in any key), I'm still flipping through 6 or more versions I've collected from the forum, trying to figure out which I should transpose and try.
I've given up on solving it for this Christmas, but would be happy to take part in a community effort to make a "vanilla changes" playlist for Christmas 2017.
Thanks...Lyle
