This is not a direct comment to your posting today. It is a response to singing “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” yesterday on the first Sunday of Advent. It brought back memories of you singing that ancient canticle in the PPM Holiday Concert with the NY Choral Society and Orchestra that was featured on PBS many times in December during the 1980’s.

Watching that concert is still one of our family’s favorite holiday traditions. First we watched it on TV. Then we recorded it and watched the VHS tape of it every year. Next we used “modern” technology and had a friend transfer it to a DVD. Finally, ShoutFactory released it on DVD in 2011 which we ordered online. As long as we can find a DVD player, we’ll stick with that.

One of the things we treasure about that special is it encompasses many traditions -- Jewish, Christian, secular; folk, classical, spirituals. We enjoy the expressions on your faces and that if the Choral Society and children, conveying the delight and joy of the season. Many songs express the wonder of God acting among us. Your inviting the audience to participate rather than simply sitting back reflects the whole mood of the concert -- harmony, hope, joy and peace.

Thank you for your witness to Love in that concert and through your music over the years.
