Christmas Song!

Image
Max and I wish you a very, very, Merry Christmas! Here is the only Christmas song that I have ever written. The lyrics are based upon a poem by Gloria Krause. If you don't know the story, Gloria was a big fan of the Second Line Jazz Band. One evening after a performance, Gloria brought me a poem that she had written and asked if I could set it to music. You can hear the results by clicking on the photo below. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL FROM MAX AND JIM!

Listen to this article: Your browser does not support the audio element. Notes from the evening of October 14, 2019.  Click photo to expand My dog, Max, and I are camped at Upper Lagunitas Campground in the Carson National Forest of New Mexico. As I wait for my Columbus Day dinner of lasagna to cook, I am looking out my window at a million dollar view of the lake that lies below our campsite. In the far distance I can see the tops of the mountains that define the Continental Divide. Max is outside dashing from tree to tree and sniffing every blade of grass. He has already had his dinner of Old Roy dog-food. Click on photo Our camp is high (about 10500 feet) so I had some altitude sickness yesterday afternoon when we arrived. The air is thin, so every task takes more energy and effort than it did back in the flat-lands of Texas. I still have a touch of altitude sickness but I believe I will be fine tomorrow. It always takes a couple of days
