SONG OF THE DAY

Merry Christmas to all our loyal readers and our apologizes for not being here for the past week. The holidays are a busy time for us in our other lives so finding time to post here sometimes gets lost in the shuffle. We're going to try and make up for it this coming year.

Today's song is "Christmas Carol" from one of our favorite singers Mary Chapin Carpenter. The first time I heard Ms. Carpenter was on a compilation album and it was her song "This Shirt" which grabbed me immediately and I had to listen to it again. That is still one of my favorite songs. Today's song is her original composition to her album of Christmas music Come Darkness, Come Light: 12 Songs of Christmas.

SONG OF THE DAY

This might not quite be a Christmas song but it fits in, it features our favorite Susan Cowsill again and tells about the time it snowed on Christmas Day in New Orleans, which for our city down here in the south is a fairly rare thing. It's called "Crescent City Snow."
