MMMMmmm
that guy ended the news bulletin with  "next news at 3.00".  I thought that now was 3.00?

Bubble you are speeding up the future; it was 1:04 when he finished, and the next news is at  3 pm

I was enjoying the jazz till my son showed up, missed part of the first selection here but now enjoying the Skaters Waltz. Makes me wish I could ice skate again.

DON  now you know Bubble is speeding up the time so you will be there faster.    Like your memories of skating as a youth, Where we used to go someone always started a bonfire at the edge of the pond. Always someone warming up by it.

Oooopsss I did it again! lol

Happy memories, Don? 
Except for the spectacle Ice Follies - or is it Follies on Ice? - I have never been near a skating rink.

Gloria what wonderful times!  On the farm where I later lived we had a flooded field, more than an acre and when it froze over we had the largest rink in the county. Bonfires, wiener roasts, we did it all

When I was growing up, we, (the town); would set up bonfires along the Chena River and serve hot chocolate or grown up drinks as everyone ice skated up and down the river. There were always either curling or hockey games going on as well. Nowadays the river never freezes over.

Oh Missa creola  has so much African rhythm to it!

Angel we had no adult participation at our outings: mostly pre-teens and teens.  The other highlights of our winter outings were late night hayrides.  On a clear moonlit night with the air snapping with cold you just burrowed your way into the hay and if you had a warm companion that was even better.

I never tire of Serenade Espagnol.       

I think Spanish has a quality that is hard to define

I have it in my blood!  After all I am a Sephardi, my ancestors were Castilian.

That is exactly what we will be chanting when we lit the candles on Chanuka!  Thanks Don.
That was a good rehearsal for me

Bubble it is so beautiful. Will everybody sing or just you?

We all do.

Layla Tov, good bye all and thanks for the lovely music.

DON  thank you for an enjoyable but short 3 hours. I liked yout story about finding that music in a used bin. One person's trash but a treasure for you to share with us. Have a great week

Had to miss the show today . Just now got on iPad.. We are having a horrible ice storm. I hate these. Worse than snow because the freeze the power lines .  A littl Jazz would have been good.

Not even tried to go out. Car frozen up. Good time to write letters to put in cards. Need my over seas mailed out.

It's a festive programme in many ways, especially the carols, none of which are what you call mainstream. Bryn Terfel's performance of a Harry Belafonte song is particularly noteworthy. Mozart sr and Prokoffiev provide their versions of a favourite winter passtime and the excerpts from Bach's Christmas Oratorio certainly glorify these festive times. This the last live show of the year. I'm heading off to Israel for the next five months to be with my Israeli sweetheart. I will be on air though through the magic of pre-recorded programmes, so I can join you in the audience of Reid's Records. So I wish you now a Merry Christmas, or if Christmas is not part of your observances, then I wish you the peace and goodwill this festive season represents.

 "I'm heading off to Israel for the next five months " 
maybe you can add one more and be here for Rafi's birthday and Illy's wedding anniversary? Surely you would not want to miss that?  lol 

Sounds wonderful, Don. You get to miss most of the nasty, cold weather.

Don.  A real Christmas show tomorrow.  I am sure I will be home. Weather to bad to leave the house.
Soon you will be heading to Israel. Hope you have a safe trip. No holdups
Chicago A/P would be the worse one to fly from right now.  Seems all cancelled daily.

If you have not heard this Christmas adaptation you’re in for a treat...
Worth listening to--

Don, you already aired your messages for recorded programs  at my 7.00 pm?  That is so early!

Hi Bubble. I was editing the spots unaware that they were going out over the air.  Very bad and I'm embarrassed.

I am here waiting for all the Christmas music today.

BUBBLE  that site would not open, will try later, said an error happened.

Hi Gloria

nu, nu, nu Don!
I did not know how to tell you: can't you hear the phone of the studio?

I did enjoy the selection of Noel music on the jazz

Checking in (which I don't think I did last week).

O Holy Night is one of my favorites. Almost guaranteed to bring tears to my eyes.

Navidad Nuestra is one I always hear with renewed pleasure.

Better late than not at all.

Hi MarsGal. I was at a high school two weeks and they sung O Holy Night and it brought tears to my eyes.
Hi Pat.
