Last Night Yellow Was My Favorite Color

Yellow, normally, is not a favored color around the beach house. Has something to do with the purple haze years that involved a monster hangover, a rented van - yellow with blue interior and several stops on the side of the road. Okay, that's another story and not really relevant. Celtic Woman did a special on PBS last night. They are my all time favorites and the issue of their DVDs is a progression of art, love, soul, beauty, talent, so on and so forth, at its very best. Can't wait to get this Christmas special and watch it over and over again. As my buddy Wild Jim Key says, "Watch out! This will blow your skirt up!"

This first tune is a great rendition of a Christmas standard, Let It Snow. The band is awesome, the horns are pumping and the drums are straight on. Harmony abounds and it is nice to see all five participate. Be sure and watch the ending. Mairead (she's the one with the violin) is soooooo cute! And sexy too!

What can I possibly say about this next tune. I think God, in His everlasting wisdom and benevolence, has given us a preview to the grand choir above that awaits all us sinners. This is so moving and stirs me down to the very depths of my heart and soul. This is Christmas celebration at its best! If this doesn't knock your socks off then you have no love of music.

If you haven't come to understand the title of this post this next video will explain. I even like the new haircut Lisa is sporting. Hey, you could snatch her bald-headed and I'd still swoon at her feet. Lordy, she smokes me! This has always been one of my favorite Christmas songs and she now owns it!

Hope you take the time to enjoy these three offerings. Go buy their CDs, and DVDs. They make great Christmas gifts. I'll post a list of times for the local PBS repeat of this special soon. If the tour dates are available they will be posted too. Wow! Seeing them live is a dream. Glad to see Meav back in the group for this special. Wonder if she's touring with them again?

Last year I prayed to God about Christmas this year. Holidays are a tough time for me and everyone pulling and demanding that you rush here and rush there never considering anyone's feelings but their own absolutely ruins the spirit of the season. Stop it! Let these brief positive musical messages guide us all through the holidays. Embrace your brothers and sisters of the human race! One last thing, Merry Christmas everyone!

Fail not to call to mind, in the course of the twenty-fifth of December, that the Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born on that day; and then smile and enjoy yourselves for the rest of it; for mirth is also of Heaven's making.
