Great vibrancy from the Calypso Beat and lots of lively playing and singing. Nicely played and sung graham, love the bells :-))

I am familiar with Kendrick's songs having played them in church but have not heard this one. Very nice how you play and sing it and a very pleasant surprise:)

A lovely, upbeat and uplifting version .......... you perform this festive tune perfectly! :)

Enjoy this mini-album collection of six Christmas songs.

This 1872 poem by Christina Rossetti (titled 'A Christmas Carol')was set to music in 1906 by Gustav Holst to become the well known Christmas carol we know today. Here is my version.

In The Bleak Midwinter (Rossetti-Holst)

Song about love ,life and things that go bump in the night

The only one

I've always enjoyed singing this popular calypso carol over the advent/Christmas period so it was an obvious choice to record my own version. It was written in 1988 by the prolific Graham Kendrick. I was lucky enough to meet Graham a few year's ago - a nice, genuine and unassuming man. He was generous with his time and encouraged me to keep on song writing.

We're lighting advent candles at this time of year,
Reminds me that we're waiting for some Christmas cheer,
We celebrate the birth of a baby boy,
Who brought into the world a lot of hope and joy,

The shining stars on a Christmas night start me wondering,
A star of wonder on that Christmas night, welcomed the new born king.

We celebrate our Christmas round the Christmas tree,
Everybody's gathered with their family,
It's good to be together on this special day,
Remembering we're celebrating a birthday,

The shining stars on a Christmas night start me wondering,
A star of wonder on that Christmas night, welcomed the new born king.

I'll wish you happy Christmas on this special day,
I hope you're having fun in every way,
All the food is eaten and the carols sung,
We celebrate the birth of The Father's son,

The shining stars on a Christmas night start me wondering,
A star of wonder on that Christmas night, welcomed the new born king.

Shining Stars

Shining Stars (Graham Williams)

A great Christmas carol written by Michael Perry (1942-1996). Written to the tune of the Calypso Carol, it's a song I enjoy singing at this time of year.

See Him Lying On A Bed Of Straw

Sit down at the end of the day with a mug of glühwein or a mug of hot chocolate and imagine a typical village Christmas scene on the front of a Christmas card. This is a song of that image.

THE DEMO

After An Airport Farewell Party
I Couldn't Remember Where I Parked 
Behaved Badly
Came Home & Stayed Up All-Night 
Making This To Repent & Never Forget 
But I Say Too Much

AIRPORT PARKING LOT

Just Last Night 
I Was Telling The Wife
How Much I Love This Tune
And If'n I Get Lucky                                                                                                    I Might Get It To Pat Boone
But Now I’m Walking Around The Rooftops
With The One I Love The Most
In The Middle Of The Night
Screaming At Her & The Holy Ghost
As Soon As You Start Thinking 
That Your Number Is Hot
You’re Looking For Your Car 
In An Airport Parking Lot                
Looking For Your Car 
in An Airport Parking Lot

The Best Man At My Wedding
Turned Out To Be A Gal
And I Know That Every Asshole
Is Someone Else’s Pal
I Figure It’s Just Something
That Happens To Us All
If You Think You're So Good Looking
Why Don’t You Give Rob Lowe A Call?
I Know How To Reach Him 
I Can Call Him On The Spot
He’s Looking For His Car 
In An Airport Parking Lot
Looking For His Car 
In An Airport Parking Lot

First of all thanks for dropping in on my page.
I sing, write songs and play rhythm guitar. I'm trying to learn a bit of bass. People tell me I've got a reasonable voice and I have a liking for melody. As I make my way with multi-track home recording, I'm hoping the the end result will be greater than the sum of the parts!
So again, thanks for dropping by. Hopefully you will take a listen to some of my songs and if you like what you hear, it would be great if you could leave a comment.
