We will not be playing all the artists and versions that we have. We don't have the space, but we feel you'll get enough variations to enjoy yourself. Background Information: The Englishman, John Francis Wade, wrote both the words and the music, Adeste Fideles. The Musical score was first published in 1782 in Samuel Webbe's An Essay on the Church Plain Chant in 1782. John Francis Wade first included it in his own 1751 publication of Cantus Diversi. The lyrics were first published in 1760. If you hear someone using tissues, it's MoJo. This song has watery effects. To our British and Aussie allies, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Background Info: Joy to the World The words and lyrics of the old Christmas carol 'Joy to the World' were written in 1719 by Isaac Watts (1674-1748). The father of John Watts was a Non-conformist and so extreme were his views that he was imprisoned twice. His father's influence over Isaac was demonstrated when he choose to attend Nonconformist Academy at Stoke Newington in preference to a University. Watts was ordained as a Pastor of an Independent congregation. He wrote many hymns and Carols and was awarded a Doctor of Divinity degree by the the University of Edinburgh in 1728. The music to the carol is by George Frederick Handel (1685-1759). MoJo Thought: Have you ever noticed while reading articles that when referring to GOD that many folks decide to write it *G-D*? What is that? Is it supposed to mean that it is less potent and offensive by keeping the *o* from appearing? My suggestion to these folks isn't to use God at all. If you can't add the *o*, don't write it. This is true for those of you that believe or don't.

> Crocodile Dundee.....
> Gonna have to ponder this for awhile.
Gidday, nice to meet ya, mate.
I got a mate "across the Ditch" on West Island (OZ) who is an awful lot like Crocodile Dundee. His name is "Choz" --his real name is Nathan but everyone calls him Choz anyrate, dunno why. Good bloke -- self-educated, his specialty is funnelweb spiders. He's considered an authority on 'em, has been responsible for identifying several new, distinct varieties.
He and I are quite different: he's thin and fit, I'm an overweight galloot. He likes spiders: spiders creep me out completely. He can run nimbly thru the jungle, swinging from tree-branch to tree-branch, and I can only smash my way thru, slowly and with much swearing.
We both like our beer, however... (what a surprize!)
