"Merry Christmas" Manly Man and to your family! Did Hutchette get something musical for Christmas? My son had two guitars but he had to upgrade to a better one this year, which I am listening to now- how long will this go on?

I do hope it is for the rest of my life, he is really good at it, he has not had any lessons and he can figure it out himself. What can I expect his Dad loves music, Mom loves music- let say we are a music filled house. So, who do you think Hutchette gets liking music from- anyone in the family?

If you're lucky, the rest of your life. Peace be with you.

I yam what I yam....Popeye

Muddle, you are good- It is from "The Life" (which is his best of) in 1988. It's also on 25 Christmas Songs with various artists in 1989- and also on The Ultimate Collection 2006.

Do you have the CD "The Life"?

Michael Card to me has one of the most outstanding voices- but my favorite artist is Russ Taff- have you heard of him-

I found Joseph Song as I said before besides Christmas Hope by Newsong which by the way live in Atlanta Ga. at the moment these are my two favorite ones- their lyrics and they way is sung.

Have you heard of New Song?

Glad to hear someone knows of Michael Card- we saw him several times in concert- part of my husband's radio days.

What is your favorite Christmas song, if you find it- send it please.
Merry Christmas!

btw- I loved Dan Fogelberg.

You asked for my favorite. It's probably this:

In the Bleak Mid Winter

The last line always chokes me up.

Here's another version by the Christ Church choir, Oxford. (I think I know exactly the spot where they are standing.)

(I think I've repaired the link)

Christ Church Choir

And Unto Us a Child is Born by that same Christ Church choir.

This building is beautiful. I can only imagine what the choir sounds like in person with the acoustics as they are. (The banquet hall in the firsdt Harry Potter movie was filmed here, too! )

We saw Michael Card a couple of times as well, up in Milwaukee and Madison. Very thoughtful music. In addition to being a musician, he is somethikng of a scholar. (I'm trying to think of the New Testament scholar at Bowling Green with whom he studied. Lane?) Once when we saw Michael Card he was accompanied by cellist John Catchings--a very talented man.

Thanks for the link it was beautiful.

You are right about Michael Card he is a scholar to me. Have you read any of his books. They are very good.

Thanks for the music.
