Attended your Christmas concert , the 17th. Wow! I had never heard of you until then. My attendance was arranged by Andy Dutter. What a treat! I've played William the Angel over and over. Cannot get enough of it. It's so mystical and magical; and delivered so beautifully. Your voice, expressions and the setting all were so well done. Hope to see you again soon.
Rob Mathes now has a huge fan of his music in the tiny Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago. God bless you for uploading this, Piquichi123. ... And please upload "Wake up, it's Christmas Morning" in time for December 25th. The world needs to hear it in its concert setting :)
I bought this concert DVD pretty much 'blind' to its content. I purchased it because of Michael McDonald, Vanessa Williams and Ozzie Davis. I watched it for the first time last night and was awestruck (which is actually an understatement). There is such depth to Rob Mathes, to his lyrics, his composition and his artful and thoughtful arrangements. This song is a masterpiece in soulful sensitivity, no less. Hollywood, take cue because its storyline should be the basis of a hit movie!
Wow, Robbie that is a beautiful song and very inspirational! So nice that you combine all your talents and sing and perform your own music, with an amazing orchestra and choir behind you!! Much cheer from Wendy, from the old neighbor hood.
This is a truly beautiful and poigant song. Rob intertwined traditional carols with this original tale of an angel who want to save another soul. It give me chills every time I hear it.
Hey Robbie, This is awesome, Its Matt Brunton your old radie from old revalation days. I am now a minister out in Tulsa, OK. God Bless you I hope to hear from you soon.
This guy is amazing, I've heard his name before, I wish I had found this before Christmas, I would have played it starting in Thanksgiving, I'm blown away by his songs, and him as an artist. He sounds like Paul Young, amazing...musician
This is my all time favorite Christmas album. Each year I get more from listening to this music then any other. He's so unique and very talented. I don't know why more people don't know of him...I sure will be one to spread the news to all my friends.
I especially like "When the baby grew up" too. Thanks for posting this wonderful and touching song for us all to enjoy.
Thanks.I just wrote Rob a email about possibly doing another Christmas CD for us and he replied: "That is a great question. I would love to do another Christmas record eventually. I have done others, Evening Train and Orchestral Songs, both available on itunes but another Christmas one
would be fun. The issue is time, planning and budget. Keep it in your prayers. We will certainly do it one day.
@meezerlover Hello meezerlover.......hope this Christmas is soo much more full of love and the spirit of Christmas for you and yours.....Had no idea that this was near and dear to you too.......Our mutual friend Darwin turned me on to this DVD the music and Rob.....seems he personally knows many people including being a former roadie for Michael McDonald and the Doobies.....
Pretty much every year I go to his Christmas Concert, and pretty much every year I walk away thinkin I just saw an immense talent that not enough people will know of. He's really that good.
I've seen too much this year I close my eyes, I fold my hands and offer up a prayer. I've heard that love can heal a hungry heart but theres far too many hungry hearts round here. I look in front of me what's up ahead I see Christmas is comimg not a moment too late Christmas is coming I can hardly wait for the smile to return to my face for the season to start for the Baby is born and hope has returned to my heart.
Wow, made my Xmas, I am so happy you put this up, I've worn out my recording of it. Robbie is a genius, when he was just 16 playing guitar in my brothers band we knew.
Of everything he's ever done, this song always makes my Christmas and I consider it his signature piece. I hope to make it back for his Xmas Concert again someday, it's been years.Just one soul, that's why I'm here, I know it.
Alright the 1 dislike needs to get a life.

I'd love for someone to put up STAR BRIGHT,
with him singing, in my opinion, he does his songs better than anyone else, because he is the soul that created them.

It's the KALI YUGA, a very long term cycle
coming to it finale in which all things that are no longer necessary are purged, and it's
often a painful process, but it's all perfect no matter what it looks or feels like, all in the process toward a new beginning at a higher
vibrational consciousness.
