Even with all I went through during childhood, Christmas music was special to me. I enjoyed playing it on the piano and listening to it on the vinyl record albums we had.
For me, the melodies are simple and peaceful. They are full of joy and calmness. I'm talking about the classics of Christmas.
Whether it was playing these in church Christmas programs or caroling at nursing homes, they were a special part of life to me. They took me out of the difficult experiences I was going through and helped me give back to others who heard me play these songs.
I'll never forget the year my piano teacher, Mrs. Tucker, bought me a book of Christmas piano music. I was only around 8 years old at the time. I loved learning those songs and still treasure them all these years later.
Several years ago, someone wanted me to record a beautiful CD of Christmas songs that I played on the piano. It is nothing "fancy" but more the simple songs that I played when I was a child.
If you like simple music, I hope you will give a listen to the sound clips of this CD. If you download them, you help support my life's work and creativity.
By the way, the last track on this CD is my version of three songs. Can you guess what they are when you hear them?
