    Hello All:

    I have branched out into playing around town for events and such, and just composed this arrangement of a familiar Christmas tune ala jazz style. It is available to purchase and download if you are interested. PLEASE DO NOT perform this at the liturgy! It is strictly for entertainment only.

    I did the first five days and then moved to the twelfth day because musically, it would have been extremely wearing to listen to days six through eleven.

    If you really want to play that piece as a postlude, it should be a fantasy and fugue for organ.

    Found this sib file on my computer... I know... this is eleven years later and now its a bit early for the season, but I sent the file through noteperformer4 for a better simulation. I am probably booked for Christmas party this year, so I may try to pull this off... the end takes some practice.

    "PLEASE DO NOT perform this at the liturgy!" Should be a standard thing at the end of most pieces of music

    lol

    I once went to the Basilica in Baltimore, and they played Drummer Boy for communion... my 7 year old son leaned over and said, 'that isn't a church song, is it?'
