The Christmas season is now here in
full force. I'm even getting into the act a bit early this year.
I have sent out a gift for the Reddit
gift exchange and have got some ideas about presents for people. I
got my first Christmas card the other day and have realised I don't
have any, I thought I had a pack or two laying around but they have
vanished.
Carol of the Bells
I have even started to listen so some
Christmas music of my own choice. I can't stand being bombarded by
what the radio plays. I have gone for a more classical approach. And
have made a playlist consisting of mainly Trans-Siberian Orchestra
who have three dedicated Christmas albums and they are great.
On a sadder note the man behind of of
my favourite Christmas songs had died, Greg lake. 'I Believe in
Farther Christmas' is fantastic and is the style I love. As will be
seen in an upcoming 'One song' Blog post. His work for King Crimson
is great and he has had some minor input into TSO.
I Believe in Farther Christmas - Greg Lake
I have two planned out two One Song
posts; one a Christmas song and another by the greatest band of all
time (Well I think so). Not sure when they will be done as I'm away this weekend
and I have a lot on my plate next week. Its a feature that I like to
do I just hope I can keep it up. The are many songs that through my
life have made a mark on me, this gives me a change to tell their
story.
All the tracks in this blog are runners
up for song to write about, they are all fantastic and this last one
is stellar. As an aside the video embed feature for Blogger is crap!
It make finding a video I want next to impossible. Why it doesn’t
let me embed a link I don't know. It's backwards and probably will
never be fixed.
