It's a really great song. It doesn't have the energy of "Jingle Bells", but it gives more of a sense of what Chrismas is supposed to be about: the celebration of a very important birthday: Jesus'. Speaking of which, I've always wondered why we don't sing "Happy Birthday" on Christmas. "Happy Birthday, dear Je - sus. Hap - py Birth - day, to you!" Don't forget that Christmas is not just a time to share with your loved ones how much you love them. It's a time for a lot of the world to celebrate the miracle of Jesus' birth. Show your love like He would - to everyone. Happy Holidays to all, CB <> ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1998 10:12:53 -0800 (PST) From: Nicole Carlson Subject: Re: Christmas On Fri, 27 Nov 1998, Berkeley Bush wrote: > I figure we should > find out when the obligatory Eddie From Ohio Christmas/Hanukkah Album > would be coming out. What, if any, holiday songs have they covered? Their cover of "Silent Night" is on a CD whose sales benefit the homeless. I'm fuzzy on the details, but I remember seeing them on the website. Someone wanna check it out? Speaking of Christmas albums, does anyone know if the Arrogant Worms' Christmas album is worth getting? > Also, what songs (traditional or nontraditional cover) would y'all like > to see EFO release on it? I haven't made my mind up for a full 12(or > more) song album, but I think they could do a good rockin' "Little > Drummer Boy"(with HOT Eddie solo) That'd be soooo cool! :) I personally vote for "Veni, veni, Emmanuel" (a.k.a. "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel"). In Latin. A cappella. Whee! I also think they'd do a great job with "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Or else "The Holly and the Ivy". Or--hey! "We Need A Little Christmas"! - --nicole the wonder nerd ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1998 10:22:20 -0800 (PST) From: Nicole Carlson Subject: Re: EFO: Last BH shows On Fri, 27 Nov 1998 EFOcrew@aol.com wrote: > And lastly, I thought it might be a fun idea to put together a list of > songs that EFO plays. Please send in lists of songs you've heard EFO play. (I'm going to assume that unrecorded EFO originals (e.g. Maylee, Old Dominion, MN '45, etc.) are also off-limits.) I personally have heard them cover: that song that goes "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone..." the one that goes "When the lights go down in the city..." "Sunrise, Sunset" (from _Fiddler on the Roof_) a bit of what sounded like "Hava Nagila" (traditional) And I know they've done a few Indigo Girls songs... "Closer to Fine" and "Galileo" spring to mind. - --nicole the "waiting for them to cover 'California Dreamin'" wonder nerd ------------------------------ End of edheads-digest V1 #100 *****************************
