My mother had an old LP with Christmas songs by various artists. One was "A Cradle in Bethlehem" sung by Nat King Cole. I've always loved the song. Beautiful words and lovely melody. If you want to listen to a really nice version, go to the link below, scroll down till you see the song title, click on that, and then click the icon you'll see for the demonstration (complete song). This is the arrangement Vince Gill does on his Christmas album (but it isn't him singing it here). It's absolutely beautiful. I'm singing it tonight in my Christmas Showcase that I'm hosting at the open mic club I hang at. http://praisehymn.com/info.aspx?page=labelhome.aspx&label=PH I'd love to say "Merry Christmas", but wouldn't want to offend anyone, so I'll just say Happy Hol.....Oh, what the hell! I hope you all enjoy the merriest Christmas season possible in these troubled times. Be well and safe. SND
