Whatever your denomination, church, faith, or lack thereof, at this time we like to associate with peace and goodwill...have good one! Good voices, Tommy, but their Latin pronunciation needs work. I used to sing Latin Gregorian chants in a schola here in Denver, and I posted some of my own Latin Christmas recordings at Soundclick.com earlier this month. I arranged and recorded these for guitar and two-part vocal harmony. These are two of the oldest Christmas "carols" in Western Christendom.

Ron Bulman Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 Post Christmas quiz. What is the name of the club in White Christmas where Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) goes to meet Ed Harrison, and watches George Clooney's aunt Rosemary sing You Done Me Wrong?

Creator Alme Siderum by Guillermo Ambrose | SoundClick Corde Natus by Guillermo Ambrose | SoundClick Oh that comment takes me back! I was lucky enough in the 1980's to go to what in the UK was referred to a "Bog-Standard" Comprehensive state school that had one man who still taught classics. I studied Latin at "O Level" for two years under that guy, Mr Wilf O'Neill (OBE) who could have taught or lectured Classics at any University in the land (and did hold Summer courses in the Classics at a couple of Cambridge colleges.) but he believed that it should be part of the wider curriculum at all levels and so taught it to mugs like me. When I moved into the 6th form and we hit 18 yrs old, a bunch of us would leave school at lunchtime and go to the local pub that I now live practically next door to. It was also the favourite watering hole of Wilf and his staff room clique as it was and has remained for many decades, a "Real Ale" pub. (I have never been asked by anyone in over 20 years, "So... why did you buy THAT house?") Even after we had left school we used to go back to "The Miller's Arms," (Now called the Brewers Pride") at Christmas on the last few days of school and bump into our old teachers. Part of the ritual involved the landlord "Bob" switching the jukebox out around the second week in December. So it was filled with Christmas songs. Whenever "Gaudete" came on, (which was quite often once we saw the reaction it engendered) Wilf would start on with his deconstruction of the performance and his forthright opinion on Steeleye Span, whom he considered to be a bunch of "Tone-deaf scruffy, bloody, pagan hippies".

Tommy Tomlinson Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 10 hours ago, Kathy Beckett said: I love Maddy Prior. My favorite song of hers is "Joseph was a Tin Man" Yes, I believe Joseph of Arimathea brought Jesus as a youth to England, (Joseph traded in tin) and that after Christ died, Joseph came back to England and built a wattle church in Glastonbury, which was later covered by Glastonbury Abbey. I have a friend with whom I used to go to concerts back in the 80s and 90s, and we still occasionally catch the odd show. And I don't think a year has gone by during the time we have known each other that we haven't said... "NEXT year.... we'll finally get to bloody Cropredy!" And it is still to happen...

John Cotter Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 An unusual anti-recruiting Christmas song about peace on earth and goodwill to all men (except perhaps to those who try to dragoon reluctant young men into military service). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBGkhPx529g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
