The Piano Guys: Angels We Have Heard on High (Christmas w/ 32 fingers and 8 thumbs)

This is a unique version with four men playing or using the piano to create their music.  The piano is used in a way which I have never seen before.  This is from The Piano Guys. 

Light the World Day 13 2017: Be Kind to Others

"All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them."

—Matthew 7:12

As anyone can tell, I am a day behind.  Things get that way at Christmas, but its OK because I will catch up. 
One way I serve during Christmas is by participating in choirs.  Tonight the Northland Stake Choir sang with the St. Paul's Methodist Unified Choir.  Tonight we were at the Methodist Church.  I had fun.  We sang five numbers.  Then there were also solos and the Methodist Church Bell Choir.  We return to sing again this Sunday. 

This past Friday I and the kids sang at the ward party for the interlude. 
Christmas Eve I will be conducting the Ward choir.  Finally the day before Christmas Eve we will be hosting a family wing-a-long for family and friends.  I love sharing through music.

Christmas Concert Thursday and Sunday

I like to sing for the Holidays, especially spiritual Christmas music.  the manteca Stake is joining with the St. Pauls United Methodist choir and bell choir to perform a couple evenings this week.  You are most welcome to attend, and I understand there will be snacks after.  I am not privy to the entire program, but the men sing a son, the women sing one, with the Bell choir the choir is performing "Carol of the Bells."  The choir is also singing "Joy to the World" and "What Shall I give?"  We are also singing O Holy Night with soloists.  Caleb's high school choir teacher will be one of the soloists.  This year the are recommending donating food items for St. Paul's pantry.

A Dickens Christmas - John Rhys-Davies and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir

I love the storytelling.  John Rhys-Davies is a master story teller.  Here we have the story of Charles Dickens and "A ChristmasCarol" in a very different light.  They are flying around the tabernacle and discovering the spirit of Christmas.  Makes me wonder if this may be the inspiration for the movies about Charles Dickens released this year.
