    That song is sooooooooooo hard to sing! I’ve never tried it. Boy, I miss Willie K. Braddah could SING! And yodel!

    True story: G and I saw him and Amy at a concert in Woodinville one summer long ago. One lady in the audience stood up and said in one long sentence “WillieKcouldyoupleasesing”OHolyNight”becauseyoudothebestversionEVER!” This was in the middle of summer, mind you. And he did it! And brought down the house.

      Oh, I’ve never tried it either… unless super slow kine! I miss Willie K. too. And I love your true story!! That sounds just like him, to sing O Holy Night in the middle of summer. We got to see him (and Makana) at the Portland Zoo concert series a long time ago… his voice makes me cry even now. Good kine crying.
