You Can Believe - Or Not (Dialogue Track)

Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”

The dialogue track leading in to "How can this be?" (https://soundcloud.com/stefanlanfer/how-can-this-be) - Zechariah's song, grappling with news from the Angel Gabriel that he and his wife, Sarah, though they are old, will soon have a son, and name him John. From "Something for you" - the modern folk Christmas musical that centers on the minor characters with major insights, and the minor moments often overlooked in the lives of the major characters of a story we might have thought we already knew inside and out.

Text:

Our story begins during the reign of Herod, King of Judea, when the messenger, Gabriel, appears to an old priest, named Zechariah, with a message that his wife, Sarah, would become pregnant and they would have a son - the one who would be called John The Baptist, who would prepare the way. And because Zechariah and his wife were old and well along in years, he can't help but ask...Really? You're not serious. How. Can. This. Be?

Dialogue track lead in to "A Fair Question" (https://soundcloud.com/stefanlanfer/a-fair-question) from "Something for you" - the modern folk Christmas musical featuring the minor characters, and the minor moments in the lives of the major characters with new insights into a story many of us thought we knew inside and out. "A Fair Question" is the song of "all" from "all who heard it were amazed" (of the shepherds' story of angels and of witnessing a newborn king) - the first people who, like the rest of us, can only believe - or not, based on the stories handed down from those who were there themselves.

Text:
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed
I was too.
That look in their faces…
