CHRISTMAS & OUR SOLDIERS

Today, with Christmas so close, I want to send a special Xmas wish to all our soldiers abroad.

Please be careful, watch your back and take every possible precaution. Remember that your loved ones are constantly thinking of you and praying for your safe return. May you be blessed with a specially joyful Christmas experience this year and every other year to come. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I posted a song, and an article against war, in my joessongs.blogspot.com blog. I hope you'll read it and maybe suppoprt the initiative.

APOLOGIES & XMAS

My most sincere apologies for the time elapsed between my last posting and this one. This academic course is proving much busier than originally expected and I really am very short of free time. I hope to remedy this next term.

Anyway, Christmas is just around the corner and, although we're all feeling the consequences of the financial crisis, the shops seem full and people appear to be spending a fair amount of time and money. To be honest though, the discount shops seem busier than ever; I wonder whether quality this year will be sacrificed in favour of quantity.

A couple of my groups are busy rehearsing their Xmas songs for the forthcoming Christmas Carol Concert. This will take place on Thursday the 18th at around 3.30 pm. If we manage to film it I'll post some clips and a few pictures.

IF YOU'RE THINKING OF DRINKING.... THINK ALSO ABOUT NOT DRIVING :-)
