Christmas In July '24-Day 20
It's day 20 and that means we are almost two-thirds of the way through the month. Seems like just yesterday we were on day 19 (brought to you by Amazon Prime, home of Alexa and Jeremy Clarkson!) and now here we are. Time flies when you're having fun. I hope all these Christmassy wintertime songs are helping you cool off in this hot, hot summer. I know many spots here in the US are seeing record-high temperatures that make your shoes melt as you walk from your car to your destination. I hope things are better down in the Southern hemisphere, though you might be having a record cold winter for all I know. What I do know is that I've got three songs for you today. Nothing too noteworthy, except that the zither track is the last one I have to share from that album so I hope you've enjoyed those. The others are a short sample piece of track, and a medley that's only sort of Christmas-adjacent. Enjoy!

So long, Willie, and thanks for the music!

I have to say, I like(d) all the zither this year. Nice little sub-theme.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit of an acquired taste...
DeleteThe real star of St. Joseph's Church is that tambourine.
ReplyDeleteThat makes it modern, I guess. Easy to imagine Jesus with a tambourine.
