A CERTAIN SMILE

AN ORIGINAL MUSICAL POEM BY Carl DeVellis

CHRISTMAS….
Hurry Hurry don’t be late
Hurry don’t you hesitate
Have to go – Have to run
Get some Christmas shopping done

Not much time - almost here
seem to do this every year
Buy this for her - buy that for him
When should I put dinner in

This is it – almost through
Oh No-I didn’t buy for you
Children waiting anxiously
For us to trim the Christmas Tree
Get the decorations out
What’s this Christmas all about

CHRISTMAS…
What are we thinking of
When we say the word so filled with love
Do we think of ourselves 
And the things that we get
Or do we think of Christ
Oh how we forget

The cross that he carried
The thorns on his head
The way he was treated
The tears that he shed

We pray to him
We call out his name
We use it anger
He’s not the blame

So why not do something
Different this year
Instead of gifts 
And Christmas cheer

Let’s give to those 
We’re thinking of
Let’s give ourselves
All wrapped in love

Let’s all do something very nice
Let’s give Christmas back to Christ

MY CHRISTMAS MUSICAL POEM

Well, here's a little story I wrote and put to music.
It's about a boy's life as he grows up, from school to being on his own.

I REMEMBER - ORIGINAL SONG BY CARL DEVELLIS WITH WHISTLE

VINTAGE SING-A-LONG....When 8 old musicians sing after too much Wine!!! But we have fun!!!

OLD MILL STREAM

I thought I would play "My Funny Valentine" this year on my Flugel Horn.

MY FUNNY VALENTINE...FLUGEL HORN SOLO

This is a Samba tune I wrote and my group "VINTAGE" played it. This was our first take.
