Michael Crawford and goose bumps…

December 5, 2011 By Gail


Now that Christmas music is giving us reason to hum along, I find myself waiting for favorites to come up on the radio or in our home CD mixer. Although, to be honest, I’m hearing less Christmas music on the radio this year. In the past one local radio station would dedicate itself to playing only Christmas songs from Thanksgiving until Christmas Day. When I tuned in the other day not one Christmas song came on and I admit I felt a bit disappointed.
Two of my favorite Christmas songs include Bing Crosby and David Bowie’s duet of Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy, and Michael Crawford’s Oh Holy Night. In my mind nobody, but nobody, sings Oh Holy Night like Mr. Crawford. Whenever I hear his version I stop what I’m doing and just let it soak through my being. Inevitably I get goose bumps and feel a bit out of breath just from emotionally following his intensity. If I was that kind of girl I’d be smoking a cigarette afterwards…if you get my drift. I heard Michael’s Oh Holy Night today and it literally brought tears to my eyes. Mr. Crawford, you are ‘da man, and you were the best part of my day.

    Thanks for placing up this article. I’m unquestionably frustrated with struggling to research out pertinent and rational commentary on this matter. everyone now goes in the direction of the amazingly much extremes to possibly generate home their viewpoint that either: everyone else within earth is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not genuinely recognize the situation. pretty numerous many thanks for the concise, pertinent insight….

    Hehe I see that you are doing good buddy, lot’s of good articles. It would be good for you if you could invest in some ads you know, your Google rankings would be better probably. If your budget is tight, try to find other blog owners in similar niches and exchange links. Your blog looks like something that can do it big, it would be a shame if the people don’t see it 😉 Have a nice day
