Christmas Music on TV

[Bob Riebe]

     Right now I am watching the St. Olaf college choirs-band-orchestra do their anual
Christmas show.
     They literally have 5 choirs, an orchestra and a band along with 5 conducters running the show.
When the whole shebang performs at once, quite amazing.

     This is on PBS and I imagine other colleges have similar shows on PBS in other parts of the country.
Last night I listened to the Lee College A Cappella choir. They could sing very well but too often the voice supplied back-ground music drowned out the ones singing lyrics. Especially the soprano voices.

     It is the womens voices though that give any choir the feeling of heavenly music.

     I love this time of year more than any for such TV shows, but, I have missed some of the kids shows I grew up with as the Boss does not really like them as she did not grow up with them.

     Have a Merry 10 days till the First Day of Christmas.

I never knew of the 12 days of Christmas, had to look it up.

I never did understand that Pontiac in a Pear tree though!

I haven't watched any television in
some time.
I surely won't watch any pbs until
they cull all of the p.c. and left
wing apologist stuff off.

I do miss the old Andy Williams
shows, and those types of t.v.
shows that paid the proper respect
that Christmas is due before they
tried to change everything to happy
holidays.  I understand that some
wanted the classic Charlie Brown
Christmas show taken away because
of the Linus monologue about
Jesus Christ and the true meaning
of the Christmas celebration.

If they hadn't taken it away, yoofloob
used to have an excerpt from one of
the old Andy Williams Christmas shows
of him standing on a television set
"bridge " and singing " Oh Holy Night "

The best version IMO that I've
ever heard from anyone
