Christmas Countdown: two for the price of one December 14, 2012

I missed posting yesterday so here are two of my favourite traditional carols.

Christmas Countdown: the Nat King Cole version December 11, 2012
Christmas Countdown: the 60s folk go tell it on the mountain version December 10, 2012

Back in the days when Art could still hit those high notes nice and true 🙂

Christmas Countdown: the community O Come All ye Faithful version

Last night was the final choir concert for the year at the Holy Rosary Church with the Bundaberg Municipal Band. This is what is an important part of my life here in Bundaberg: community music.

Christmas Countdown: the solo violin version_1 December 4, 2012

Christmas Countdown: Bring a torch version December 2, 2012

Here’s me playing the piano in the new room for the first time. I chose this simple carol: Bring a torch, Jeannette Isabella. Sorry about the light. No curtains.

Christmas Countdown: The Snowing Sinatra version December 1, 2012

This is for everyone enduring the stinking summer heat in Australia.

If you don’t think this is an awesome song that references Christmas then I can’t help you. I know it’s featured in previous Spiralling Shape Christmas Countdowns but it’s my blog and I’ll post what I like. Enjoy.
