Christmas Music
I love Christmas Music.
My friend Jason Harrod is a fantastic singer/songwriter from North Carolina. He just posted a couple of his renditions of two popular Christmas songs for download on his website:

I'm also providing them here since they're free:
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
They were on a multi-artist Christmas album released a few years ago called Gift, A Weathervane Christmas Collection, I don't think it's still available. Anyway, on that cd were Jason's two songs and two songs by the Vigilantes of Love (VOL). Those two songs by VOL have become my two favorite songs on my playlist every Christmas. I think Bill Mallonee of VOL is an unbelieveable songwriter and given the obvious glut of writing on the theme of Christmas, it's pretty cool to see new compelling lyrics.
Those of you that know me, may know that I'm a stickler about digital rights and think that copying music without paying for it is illegal and wrong. However, in the spirit of Christmas, I'm going to post these two songs for you to listen to. If you like them, Bill Mallonee has a Christmas album that includes both and a few more (I don't have it so I can't vouch for it). In fact I don't know if it's even still available, so ... enjoy!

On to Bethlehem
Merry Christmas!
