Happy New Year! Keep Singing!


Did you ring in the new year singing? Keep it up throughout the year! Singing is good for you. What would New Year's Eve be without Auld Lang Syne? Songs carry you through the important milestones of life, marking important moments and helping you to recall past events, and mostly helping you to recall the feelings associated with those moments.

I haven't posted Christmas songs and Christmas carols, but those are some of the most emotion-laden melodies of our lives. And, it's all very personal. Maybe next year. I seem to always be super-busy during the holiday season, and busy singing and conducting Christmas music, so that I don't have time to sit back and reflect on it all. What is your favourite Christmas music, and why? What kinds of feelings and memories do you like your holiday music to inspire?
