I had a tape called Ace Cannon's Christmas or something like that. It had several beautiful Christmas songs done with his saxaphone. I played it every year for a long time. One year I took it to work for our Christmas party and it disappeared. I have searched high and low for another one. I went to his web sight a couple of years ago and there were a couple with some Christmas songs on them, but not the same one I lost. My mother plays music at some local clubs and local gatherings. One night Ace Cannon was there playing too. Mom called me and I went to where they were. I was able to talk to Ace Cannon, but he said he had nothing to do with his marketing and inventory and said to try his web sight. I told him I already did, but with no luck. He seemed genuinely sorry, but could offer no help. I haven't tried this year to find it, but I may try again. It would be so nice to find it. Linda

I like a variety of music. You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch Charles Brown's version of Please Come Home For Christmas Christmas At Ground Zero The Litle Drummer Boy The Chipmunk's Christmas Don't Be Late and Jingle Bell Rock Feliz Navidad and the parody Police Stopped My Car Burl Ives' Holly Jolly Christmas All I Want For Christmas Is You 23 Happy Christmas Silent Night Christmas Vacation Theme (Whatever it's called) Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire and the parody, Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire

Many, many, many! One that I love that I don't hear very often is the Candlelight Carol (by John Rutter). It is beautiful. We used to sing it in choir. Verse 1: How do you capture the wind on the water? How do you count all the stars in the sky? How can you measure the love of a mother, or how can you write down a baby's first cry? REFRAIN: Candlelight, angel light, firelight and starglow shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn. Gloria, Gloria in excelsis deo! Angels are singing; the Christ Child is born. Verse 2. Shepherds and wisemen will kneel and adore him, Seraphim round him their vigil will keep; Nations proclaim him their Lord and their Savior, but Mary will hold him and sing him to sleep. (REFRAIN) Verse 3. Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger: Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay. Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation: A child with his mother that first Christmas Day. (REFRAIN) I also love Mary Did You Know. And all the traditional songs like Silent Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Hark the Harold Angels Sing, Joy to the World... all the songs you sing in Church. Plus a lot of the fun ones, Up on the Rooftop, All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth, I saw Mama kissing Santa Claus, and so on and so on. I love Christmas music, particularly the traditional versions.

Annie, I've always really liked "Deep Purple", but my association is with the up-tempo 70(s)? version. I'm trying to make myself get out for a walk so I'm not going to look it up now. Sadly, I don't believe I ever asked my mom what her favorite song was. I know she liked music, especially the music of her time and that of Barbra Streisand, but I don't remember her humming around the house.
