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.

Got a particular airplane ya want to see??? Sure, a B-1 bomber. Saw one at an airshow at the old Richards-Gebauer Airbase when the plane was brand new. Most fantastic plane I had ever seen. Beautiful lines. They had it roped off and armed guards around it. I'm very sure the guards were not kidding around when they had to ask people not to push on the ropes.
One of the first stealth bombers did a fly over there. Crowd of thousands went wild. Used to go to all the airshows there. It was only 10 miles straight down the road from our house. Still go to Whitman when they're not too busy to do the airshows.

Still catching up.....
Hey, mtngrl......long time. Good to hear that your son is short. Please let him know how proud we are of him, and his part in keeping all of us free and safe, as he helps teach the Iraqis about freedom. Thanks too to his whole family for their service.

Hi Mylife:
I know it's been a long time, but I wonder if you can tell me who performs this song that you posted? I love the song! It's called Jerusalem's Ridge, but I'm not sure who the performer is.
