This year’s offering from Naomi is Silent Night, a carol that holds very personal and poignant memories for me. As before I’m posting my Carol Concert thread not only as my Christmas gift to the Christians among us, but also in memory of those ABers sadly no longer with us. Remembering my dear friend Chakka35 who died four years ago, Mikey who left us very suddenly in February, and many, many others. Please feel free to add your carol, your tribute, or anything else you feel is seasonal and appropriate.
It Was On A Starry Night brings back memories of travelling back from Germany, the children had sung that carol at school and sat in a corner of a crowded ferry singing that and the rest of their repertoire at the tops of their voices. As we prepared to go down to the cars a old lady came to us in tears and said how lovely they were, they themselves came over with a couple of pint glasses, stuffed with money!!!!
In memory of mazie, mikey, postdog, especially and to many others from before such as mrs o, nungate, sybs, and owdhamer.
And to those ABers who are seriously ill.
My 'carol' is a pre-service anthem, Lauridsen's 'O Magnum Mysterium' and has been played in Truro and Kings, Truro being the home of the nine carols and lessons service.....Bishop Benson, 1st Bish and went onto the Canterbury job.
