It will definitely be numbered among the tunes that are played from henceforth when I pull out all my Nowell Sing We Clear volumes to observe the Advent/Solstice season. Thank you for sharing it with us.

And thank you for playing it and passing it on. I don't mean to sound like a curmudgeon about this, and do the old whiney: "It's not like the Good Old Days, anymore!" routine...

But:

In my heart of hearts, I believe that the true spirit of the season is expressed through singing together (even more than going to church and/or Ritual Circle) -- even for the Deaf -- there's a different quality to signing a song then in signing ordinary conversation. There's something about singing that has a different energy than speach.

Perhaps it's because we're opening our bodies and minds to be resonant with all of existance... as though we're taking part in the Music of the Spheres. In speach, words (and the ideas they carry) are in tight, little discrete bundles. Speaking is the mode of the Ego -- the individual. Siniging is communal.

But these days, the habit seems to be (at least in my neighborhood) to put a CD on, and have it playing as auditory wall paper, while people talk over it... there's no joining in.

So, that's the idea I want spread around... whatever the religion being observed...
