Although it isn’t very cold or snowy yet this winter, I thought I’d kick off the new year with some winter songs I like. They’re not included in the music list you see to your right, though.
I’ve always enjoyed Anne Murray‘s deep voice, so let’s start off with “Snowbird:”
The remaining December holidays are fast approaching, so it’s time to enjoy more seasonal music!
First up is Celine Dion singing “The Magic Of Christmas Day:”
Time for more great holiday music from the playlists on my iPod Classic!
First up this weekend is Mariah Carey‘s “One Child” from her second seasonal CD. I like this live version a lot:
I’m a BIG fan of holiday music, so I’ve been assembling my playlists for a while now. I plan on sharing some of my favorite seasonal songs here each weekend until we hit 2012!
First up is Alan Jackson singing one of his best holiday songs, “Let It Be Christmas:”
The 2011 holiday season is upon us, although I’ve been listening to holiday music for several weeks now!
I enjoy making playlists of musical pieces that follow a theme, so I’m going to list several songs on the “Thanksgiving” playlist on my iPod.
This is the first song in my list, from Glad:
For many folks, it’s after Halloween but too soon for the December holiday songs. So, what’s a music lover to listen to?
Well, here are some suggestions I might offer:
The Byrds did a song about the change of seasons called “Turn, Turn, Turn:”
Folks, apologies for being under the weather so much the last few weeks. I’ve had a nasty bug that has been after me for a long time. I hope to be coming out the other side, finally!
This weekend, I thought I’d share some music from some of my favorite pianists, so here goes:
First up, Joe Bongiorno has hosted many concerts from his home online, and this is one of his songs I enjoy as he performs live:
Now that we’re into the three-day Christmas weekend (love that!), I thought I’d share some songs at the very top of my favorite holiday music lists! Here goes:
I love the European melody for “Away In A Manger,” and I enjoy Judy Collins‘ version best:
I’m enjoying something of a rarity in my life–a day when I don’t have to run somewhere! How great is that?
I thought I’d continue my holiday tradition of playing videos of holiday songs I really enjoy, so here goes:
She’s got a new holiday CD this year, but this melancholy song remains one of my favorites from Mariah Carey:
On this blog, I often spend weekends discussing themes (like comics or local events), but I thought this time I’d go video by sharing some pieces from my favorite musicians.
First up is the one who got me interested in piano music, Jim Brickman. This song is the first one of his I ever heard. It was playing regularly on a local radio station, but the announcers would never say what it was called or who was performing it. Finally, one Sunday morning as I was running errands, the DJ said it was “Angel Eyes” played by Jim Brickman. As soon as I heard that, I was off to the local music store, bought the CD, rushed home, listened to and fell in love with the beautiful music. (When I read the information that came with the CD, I discovered he had previously released another CD, which sent me running to downtown DC so I could buy that one, too! I was hooked!) This video reminds me of the time I saw him in concert a couple of years back–he performed this as an encore!
