I was digging out my Christmas CD's to put on my computer and I thought, "Hey, why not share some of my favorites on my blog all month?" So that's what I'm going to do. I'll try to share a video with you each day and tell you a little something about the artist and/or song.
Yesterday's video was from Harry Connick, Jr. Harry is a New Orleans jazz musician and actor. He has been recording since he was about 10 years old and does standards like "It Had to Be You" and his own, original songs. He has appeared in movies like "Independence Day" and "Memphis Belle." If you like Frank Sinatra or Michael Buble, you will enjoy Harry Connick, Jr.
Today's video is of Yo-Yo Ma and Alison Krauss performing "The Wexford Carol." I have an instrumental version of this carol and it instantly became a favorite. It is an Irish song, from County Wexford, and is one of the oldest carols from Europe. This version features the Grammy-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Grammy-winning bluegrass-country singer Alison Krauss. I hope you enjoy.
P.S. What do you think of my red and green font? Christmas-y, ey?

Judy - Beautiful!!! At first I thought it was strange having a country singer do this, but I realized folk music from the British Isles is similar to our country. I have a Christmas album By Sarah McLaughlin (sp?) that you might like if you don't already have it. Check it out.
