Let It Snow

December 2, 2009November 13, 2009 John a.s.u., appalachian state university, ASU Jazz Ensemble, Boone, Let it Snow, NC

Coming from the ASU Jazz Ensemble, it’s a pretty appropriate song even if the mountains don’t seem to get as much snow as they did when I attended.

George Winston’s Thanksgiving

November 28, 2009November 24, 2009 John December, George Winston, thanksgiving

Here is a live performance by George Winston of his song Thanksgiving. Another of the beautiful pieces from his December Album. These are always a joy to pull out and listen to during this time of year. I can see the bright red, gold and brown of leaves raining down, and blowing along beside a road. I can hear this and smell a fire burning in a fireplace somewhere as I walk outside in the brisk air. The photos in the video are outstanding.

Johnny and Doc Discuss Thanksgiving

November 27, 2009November 24, 2009 John Doc Severinson, Johnny Carson, thanksgiving

Circa 1979. This spontaneous dialogue between Johnny and Doc is perhaps one of the funniest television moments ever. This clip was recorded from the 18th Anniversary Show, which turned out to be the only time this exchange was featured in it’s entirety.

We Gather Together

November 26, 2009November 24, 2009 John Bells, Carillon, thanksgiving, We Gather Together, YouTube

I didn’t make it home to North Carolina this year for Thanksgiving, so I am feeling a little down as I think about not “gathering together” with the family. However, this is still a beautiful hymn, and I can just imagine how it would sound on a crisp Thanksgiving morning ringing out from the carillon. This 16th century Dutch melody is played by David Christensen on the carillon at the University of California, Riverside.

Thankful People Come

November 24, 2009 John Come ye Thankful People Come, Presbyterian College, thanksgiving

Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home; all is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin. God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied; come to God’s own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home.
