bunrabHokay. New modem installed. Old modem then shipped back to Verizon. Parcels shipped overseas. Last few holiday presents ordered on line. Almost caught up with everything.
So here's some more of our Christmas CD listening:
Golden Bough: Winter's Dance. Another one of my favorites; several secular songs including "Logs to Burn" which is a nice a capella number of advice on what kinds of wood to use for a fire. Several less-familiar Christmas songs, including some that are clearly pagan in origin, and some that involve a lot more drinking than we usually associate with Christmas. Somewhat Celtic flavored.
Sellers Engineering Band and Huddersfield Choral Society: A Christmas Celebration. An British brass band - definitely sounds like Christmas. Loud, bright, fun. Several carols that are less familiar to an American audience. Kwmbayah (Kumbayah is how we usually see it spelled; the w would be the Welsh spelling, one presumes), which I don't normally think of as a Christmas song.
Annie Haslam: It Snows in Heaven Too. Annie Haslam is the soprano lead singer from the group Renaissance. Lovely voice. Fairly standard collection of carols, some with a bit of unusual harmony, though.
Whoops, there's more, but we've got to run off to perform this evening's Christmas concert.
