Welcome! Just little tid bits into my thoughts and quirks. Nothing extraordinary.
How Can You Help Tsunami Victims

It is a moment of joy and rapture! Each December, I huddle around my radio tuning in, with hopes of hearing my favorite Christmas song. I listen to remake after remake just hoping that one station will play my wonderful song. Finally, I hear the comforting cords of the cello (an instrument I would love to learn to play) followed by the rumble of an electric guitar in the background and I know that I am in for a treat. As I lay on the floor playing my imaginary electric guitar, I realize just how wonderful the holidays can be. Each year I usually grab snippets here and there, never catching the artist or the title.
Sadly, this year I have yet to hear my lovely song over the air waves. I have caught a couple of teasers this week; my hopes raised and my eyes lit up, I turn the volume full blast. Instead of the glorious music filling my ears I hear Gun’s & Roses! GRRR! Don’t get me wrong, I think that they were a great band…BUT they really need to do something about that intro, it is very misleading and one day some disc jockey is going to get hurt playing that song! LOL! I just sit in my car with my head on the steering wheel. I feel like going out side and just screaming, “Curse you 93.7, 92.5, 105.5, 107.9 and 98.5!!!!”.
But miracles do occur. Just when I thought all was lost (Christmas music will be leaving the air waves within a good week), a co-worker of mine mentioned a group called Trans-Siberian Orchestra. As he talked he described a song similar to the one I hold so dear to my heart. It’s name? Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24. Curious, I looked it up on the Internet ( you have got to love the technology these days ) and with the help of my dear friend Widows Media Player, I was once again reunited with my song. I think I may feel a tear drop forming. Granted there are tons of lovely Christmas carols (i.e. “This Christmas”, The Carpenters “White Christmas, etc…). But my two favorite instrumentals would be “En Excelsis Deo” and “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24”.
Here is a link if you would like to listen to Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24.
