Advent music

[charlie_cochrane]

This wasn't the piece I was intending to post today - I remembered it while looking for something else. Silent Night isn't my favourite carol by any means, but this version is stunning, both in its vocal quality and in the counterpoint of the news headlines. Advent is a time for thinking, as well as festivities.

Stunning's the right word. I love them anyway both together and as individual artists. Commenting here rather than Wordpress since I've realised I prefer the more conversational style of DW - and I prefer it to FB which usually defeats me. I go wandering off e.g. to listen to a YouTube clip and then can't find the original post...

Agreed all round. Boy, how I miss LJ. By far the easiest and best social media interface.

I lived on LJ for years. I opened a DW account almost as soon as they started but still kept LJ as my default. But I gradually found more and more friends migrating so I migrated too. I cross-post but really, there are only a couple of people I follow now on LJ. I downloaded (and closed) my two 'muse' journals which formed the core of one of my book series. Copy pasting from the downloads was really hard work but worth it. I have too many 'issues' now with LJ to use it as a primary site but I have a permanent account so unless they throw me off, I'm still there! (Same user name.) I found their image handling a lot easier, and I liked the ease of changing themes etc. Also, it was nice having everybody in one place... But those days are long gone!

I just don't feel inclined to hang around DW like I used to LJ. It definitely was the easiest place to navigate, though.
