Some Nights are Just Holier than Others


So everyone teases that I bought this Christmas painting (by Liz Lemon Swindle) because Mary looks like me. First of all, you can only see her from mid-nose up, so she could look like any number of people. Judge for yourself.


And by the way, may I say that it is eighty degrees here in lovely Southern California, and I just finished recording cello with Shelley Johnson, and basically, it rocked. I’m putting up “O Holy Night” so you can hear it. This is the one song where I got to just totally have fun on the piano. Happy happy happy

  4. Cherie, you are not at all dumb for asking! Yes, that is me playing the piano, and it was really, really fun. I could not wipe the smile off my face when I was recording Shelley playing her part. The song makes me almost unreasonably happy:)

  7. This is just too fun! Great and joy filled music. I LOVE this. I don't care if you bought it because it looks like you, pout or not. I think Emerson said "How precious these young ones so fresh from God..." And they are.
