Xmas by Candlelight - Jack's Parties

I love the holidays.. and love the Christmas music. I grew up with Bing Crosby's White Christmas, but like that album these holiday's to a big degree are a sort of social construct that we need to reconcile. I am not sure how that will happen, but I think the first step is an acknowledgement of it. Eniid's version of Joni Mitchell's song River is a song I always associate with Christmas coming on, I also often have spent time with friends during the holidays playing music. I feature a couple Xmas songs from an old recording from a band I was in Rock Stock and Barrel. This was a party for charity, a good friend Jack Courville through back in 2015 in Manotick. The last part of the show is a song I wrote this past week that I was inspired to write after hearing President Zelenskyy's speech to congress and thinking of all of the pain that everyone is facing in war torn countries. The song is called Xmas by Candlelight.
