If you listen to the radio, it's "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." At least for music!Two weeks ago I listened to the jazz band play in Santa at the local shopping center. Color and lights - what marching band geek doesn't love color and lights?! - are every where.
This last week concerts ran us in a whirl: All County Orchestra, High School Band, Elementary School Band, Middle School Band. I guess I'm in need of a "Silent Night." (And this past week also was the famous Midwest Clinic.)
Actually, in listening to the cacophony of sounds this year - mostly yelling, loud music, and car horns at the mall - it seemed to me that everyone was on an abundance of jingling bells and dashing through the snow. I remarked to my wife, "I thought the economy was bad." But there's a lot out there who are going to giv-a-giv-a-give-a-garmin (ruining for me now one of my favorites), even if they have to run over someone in the process.
So, anyway, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And when the time comes, remember that a garmin won't help you find music ... or peace. There is a reason it is Christmas. He came on one night devine ...
O Holy Night.
