Rare Sea Dog Posted December 3, 2021 #39502 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I think someone may have mentioned "Oh Holy Night." Of course Josh Groban's "Oh Holy Night is awesome but I also love David Phelps version. If you have never heard him, he is an amazing singer.

We have the option of antiquated DVR boxes or an app using a firestick. We moved to the firestick a few months back and have been happy, especially with the reduced rate, much better than our rates in NJ. Our son is in PA and hus rates have gone thru the roof, hubby called saying he was son, threatened to leave, reduce, etc, and they said fine go, trying g to figure out what to do there. None 9f it is easy, way too much. Here the cable companies do not care if people threaten to leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 3 spots removed that he said are most likely nothing but I wanted them gone. He did prescribe the chemo cream fluorouracil to try on a small sun spot on my cheek. Will do apply twice a day for 10 days and if it doesnt have any reaction from the cream then it's nothing to worry about. Today I go for my annual mammogram and Monday I go for my pre consult for colonoscopy. Hope to get scheduled before our return to cruising begins on jan 9th. Hopefully you will get good results on everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...classic and great composition...none probably capture the essence of Christmas any better...but I don't think I'd miss it if it would go out of circulation, which, of course, it never will - and rightlfully so. We do it for every Christmas Eve children's choir service - typicall as a solo but for '19 I found an SSAA choir arrangement that worked well. No choir last year or this year due to covid. We also use it for our church's live nativity program. Speaking of which, this year's turnout was so small that it appears we'll have to axe "The Little Drummer Boy" cause...there's no boy to do it!!! I'm not in charge of that group (thankfully) but word is the only boy on the cast decided to bag it. One of my favorite Christmas songs for children's choir. This group started out to provide music at the Salt Lake City Olympics and just continued on from there. This song is very simplistic to the sort of thing they do now. It's an auditioned group and not cheap to belong to. They have tons of youtube videos. I love the pure tone of the kids' voices in this piece.

Yes there is something about a children's choir that sounds so pure and innocent.

No, but Mickey Guyton's version during the Rockefeller center's Christmas Tree lighting program last night is apparently highly acclaimed. I didn't like it at all. Stick to the basic notes without all the fancy embellishment. A classic like that doesn't need it. Just turns me off when they start going crazy with it. Like the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. I cringe every time someone gets up to sing some sort of elaborate version. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely!!! Choir of King's College in Cambridge is nice to listen to also. Blend of young and older voices. The Duprees? Sure...I just can't connect them with any Christmas albums though. Thing is, everyone does Christmas music at one time or another...even Dylan!! My son-in-law brought this album along to our place the other year. It doesn't quite work for me as being great Christmas music but, hey, gotta admire the guy for putting it out there!! in Edited December 3, 2021 by OnTheJourney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted December 3, 2021 #39521 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I've been to probably 15 TSO concerts over the past 20 years. One of my favorite songs that I love to see in concert is "Christmas Canon Rock". Several different lead singers over the years but one of my favorites is Jennifer Cella from Long Island. The video is 15 years old so I apologize for the sub-par audio quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvdOrSKZRw0 A newer, better quality video but no Jennifer but "almost" as good. There are literally several dozen out there on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f03Ho0ERqtM Side Note: Elbow length hair is mandatory to be in the band.
