Today's selection of just instrumentals made for a nice variation on your theme(s)! I liked all four recordings, especially the one of "Jingle Bells." I enjoy a number of other recordings That I own myself of Hawaiian slack key guitar playing. I certainly felt that all four of the tunes you've shared in this posting truck me as being "fresh and new because of having creative arrangements and non-typical instrumentation."

The one in this set that I found myself singing along to was Kije. I learnt it as a children's song, it fits the main melody well:
Kije was a warrior, a warrior bold was he.
He fought so bravely for the king, the pride of the cavalry!
