I love the AM station in St. Louis that plays pop Christmas songs that
no other station does. Instead of hearing 8 different takes on the same song,
they play ones I’ve never heard before. Love it.
And while I’m grinching about the music…
Why are there 20 different versions of so many
songs, and none of “The Holly and the Ivy”?
“Silent Night” should be given a light touch—no
need for full orchestra, screechy sopranos, full-throated bellowing, or extra
trills. It’s a sweet, simple melody—sing it accordingly, please.
And finally: I said that there should be a ban
on any version of “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” other than John Lennon’s. The
person I was with said, “Oh, his is the one I can’t stand!”
I have to believe he was just messing with me.
