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:”
Thanks for reading my blog this year! I hope you enjoyed my comments as well as my choices of music and videos!
I’m taking some time off before Tuesday, January 3, to enjoy the holidays, and I hope you will, too! It’s the season to enjoy the company of others and accomplish some things I need to get done!
So, here are some of my favorite seasonal songs to immerse yourself in until early 2012!
First up is a big favorite of mine, “Breath Of Heaven” by Amy Grant:
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:”
Most people associate Mannheim Steamroller and Chip Davis with the holiday/Christmas season. But I like their other music as well. Check out a few of their videos below:
This is called ‘The Children’s Waltz:”
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:
Next weekend will include Christmas Day! Where did this year go?
Continuing with my holiday weekend tradition, here are some videos of my other favorite seasonal songs:
Today I wanted to continue to share great music as well as the the great musicians who make it.
Paul Cardall has an inspiring story to tell. He’s written a book about it, but he also makes some truly lovely and inspiring music as well. Check out this video about his book:
One of the things I enjoy doing most is making my own “mixes” of music, and I usually do that by a theme. For instance, I have ten playlists of holiday/Christmas music, nine of pop songs I like, favorites of performers I particularly enjoy, Halloween and patriotic music.
It’s Raining Again is in my “Stormy/Rainy Weather” list. And as I write this, it is raining outside.
Currently, my favorite artists include Enya, Jim Brickman, Jim Chappell, Jon Schmidt, Mannheim Steamroller, David Lanz and Bryce Miller. I have always enjoyed what is now called “New Age,” so I listen to a lot of piano and vocal songs these days. I used to enjoy pop, but I don’t see many new songs I like by artists I prefer coming out these days. So I depend on the web and Facebook to keep me up to date on my guys and gals.
