Thank you, ceb2633, for the opportunity to hear this wonderful voice, this beautiful song by my favorite singer Joan Baez.

[ceb2633]

You are more than welcome. One of my very favorite carols and the one and only Joan. And thank you.

Records have a "fuller" sound as compared to CDs or digital.

[ceb2633]

I agree!

My mother had the album, that thing called a "record" way back when. In analog rather than digital so you could hear all the tones of this woman's voice. Not sure we ever will again. But it was the most beautiful and haunting Christmas album ever.

[ceb2633]

This is from the same old "record".

Joan Baez a "commie"?? Your Dad wouldn't be an "American Dad" would he? Mistaking a Quaker for a Commie does take a particularly poor education!

This is a traditional English carol,commonly believed to have been first set down to music circa 1534 by a certain Peter Croo. It was part of the "Pageant of the Shearmen and the Tailors" performed in Coventry in around the 1500's, maybe the 1400's.

[Barbara Spring]

Very lovely.
