Shout Cast l Launch Music l Live-Radio Net l Christmas By Song O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles) This section takes an individual Christmas song and then provides you with as many different artists performing it for you to enjoy. 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!

Shout Cast l Launch Music l Live-Radio Net l Christmas By Song Joy To The World
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.

Good evening, Miss Connie.
My dad told me that when my grandfather was dying, just before he breathed his last, he said "Jack!", and then passed. Jack was the name of my grandfather's dog when he was a boy. I guess he made it to the Rainbow Bridge.

LOL! I remember that night Tazzy....and I remember your pj's being stained purple and you having a horrible tummy ache during the night.
Do y'all 'member the night we went camping? It was a soft summer night and we decided to camp out in our back yard. We didn't have a tent, but draped one of Mama' quilts over a rope we had hung between the two pecan trees. We gathered all our favorite comics to read, snacks--cookies and peanut butter/jelly sammiches, our sleeping bags and pillows, and off we went into the "wilds" of the night. We giggled and read comics by flashlight..till the batteries died, told ghost stories and soon our eyelidss started to droop with sleep.
We snuggled down in the bags...it was still cool at night in early June, and were just about to doze off...when AAAAARRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... pierced the soft cricket-filled night. We all three sat straight up in our sleeping bags, screeched in unison, and tore the quilt off the rope trying to get out fast enought and run into the house to sleep in our own beds!
It was just a coyote singing in the night, but we had never heard one from outside the four walls of our home that late at night.
Mama and Poppa never mentioned it...but I saw them smiling to each other......

Sorry--Portuguese Water Dog.
It's a working breed that originated in Portugal. They were bred by fisherman to carry lines and nets between boats and to "herd" fish into the nets. Very strong, good swimmers.
We rescued Rudy two years ago from a family in Tampa that just couldn't handle him. He's about 3 inches taller and 25 pounds heavier than the book says he should be. Good pre-natal care, I guess. He fit right in from the start with us. He's a little antsy right now as the boys are studying for exams and haven't had time to play with him. I'll take him out for a good long walk in a little while.
Jake sounds like a hand-full--Half boxer and half Great Dane. Mercy.

Well, he is on the right track! The girls just love getting something from us for Christmas and birthdays. May I suggest he start her a charm bracelet? They love them!

I remember when I was little..
My Daddy had a black Chrysler Crown Imperial..
I thought it was the neatest car in the world..
On soft summer nights..
I would gather my comic books, bankie and a flashlight..
and camp out in the back seat..
My Poppa would come and gather me up in the middle of the night, and put me back to bed..
He was strong and handsome, and always smelled so nice...
He was my Hero, and still is...
