What are yours? Why not share them with us? Here is one of my favorite Christmas songs. It's called "Little White Berry" by Roy Castle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLbwZsmAc4sThose of you from the UK will surely know who Castle was. And those of you who like Frank Sinatra or Harrick Connick Jr-type music should really listen to this! I only discovered this song a few years ago while listening to the Brian Matthew radio program on Internet BBC radio. I love this song!  And although Roy Castle was mainly known in the UK, from what I understand this song was also a US hit in 1960. |

Sorry Brian, I could not find a you tube clip to this classic www.imdb.com/title/tt0698585/ but should you find the movie you will see another aspect of the talent of Roy C. |

Also the Castleton carol if only for its lovely harmony and seriously weird imagery.
'While shepherds watched' to any tune other than the standard, (Pentonville is a good one). 'While shepherds' is a carol that can be sung to almost any tune. We once sang it all around our village exclusive of any other to a whole bunch of tunes. seriously anthemic? try 'Cranbrook' better known over here as the folk song Ilkley moor Baht'at. or how about 'The amazing grace'. Have fun, we did.

When A Child Is Born www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPp7mVTstv4 This is always my favourite, the lyrics suggest a better future, it's always dashed by the New Year mind you. Merry Christmas everyone. |
