IMAGES THAT REPRESENT SONGS

               A Holly Jolly Christmas          Burl Ives

     Whenever I hear this song, I usually imagine this guy doing that odd little footless side-to-side shuffle through the snow!

     O Christmas tree, Kenny G&many others 

                I’ll Be Home For Christmas       Bing Crosby

         This song was originally released during World War II, and is sung from the point of view of a soldier stationed overseas.

           It is this photo of Vietnam 1960, that comes closest to the image that I see in my mind’s eye whenever I hear, “if only in my dreams”.

            Thank you Veterans for your service.

      Do You Hear What I Hear    Harry Simeone Chorale and many many more!

           I have enjoyed hearing this song being performed at many Elementary School holiday concerts.  While an image of a little lamb always comes to mind, I also sometimes recall that this was written during the Cuban Missile Crisis.  While at that time I was too young to understand why the grown-ups were watching the TV News more often and sometimes whispering to each other, I now find some comfort in the realization that this song was written as a plea for peace.
