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:

My favorite vocalist has been for decades (and remains) Karen Carpenter. I can listen to her voice anytime, anywhere.
Since she passed a long time ago, anytime I come across new music that has her voice in it, I’m immediately interested.
I recently found some unreleased songs with her singing in them, and I thought I’d share them this Mother’s Day weekend. Hope you like them!
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!
