About The "It's Christmas" CD
I never thought I would make a Christmas CD even though I've made my living with music for over 55 years. God has helped me raise my four boys after my wife died of cancer and for a few years now, I've had time to write and record the music that's been in me for a while.
For this CD, I wrote seven Christmas songs, (words & music), and I made special
arrangements for three traditional Christmas songs. Each song was done with a different style of music:
from ballad to gospel, bluegrass to bubble gum pop, dramatic to simple carols, comedic to shades of "drummer boy",
and finished off with a new slow rock version of The Lord's Prayer.
I played all the instruments with my synthesizer and sang all the vocals. On each video, you can see a picture
my son William took of my hands playing the keyboard I used to make this CD.

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
This song was written by the famous poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882), after coming to the conclusion that there was no "Peace On Earth", but that right and good would eventually prevail and that wrong doing and evil would fail.
He penned "The Christmas Bells" in 1864 before the end of the Civil War. Five stanzas of the seven were set to music in 1872 by John Baptiste Calkin (1827-1905), and the song was named "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day."
Bluegrass Jingle Bells
The most popular download has been my fun version of Jingle Bells. It has been used as background music by many people for their You Tube videos and other websites.
In 2004, this was the first mp3 of "Bluegrass Jingle Bells" on the internet.

This is a medley of six popular 'Christmas Carols', describing the events at the birth of Jesus. 1. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear 2. The First Noel 3. O Little Town Of Bethlehem 4. Silent Night 5. Away In A Manger 6. We Three Kings

Two years ago I put the sheet music on YouTube with a video and to date 10-07-2023, it has had 26,000 views. The Midi is done as an instrumental with a nylon string guitar and flute, in a meditative style..
This song has had thousands of views and downloads from my own website for as many years as I've had a website and I am grateful to God for helping me bring this version to life.
The inspiration and the author of all the music we compose is the LORD GOD... He just allows us put our name on it Thank You Lord Jesus!...crv

Mall*Mart At Three In The Morning
[ Video, MP3s & Lyric Page ]
[ PDF Sheet, MP3s & Midi ]
One Holiday Season, three weeks before Christmas, Wal-Mart stores decided to remain open 24 hours a day till Christmas.
I couldn't resist and so after finishing my late night shift, I decided to drop in and see who would be shopping in Wal-mart at two or three o'clock in the morning.
I was amazed to find a couple of dozen people Christmas shopping. I even saw one shopper with her small children sleeping in the cart with some presents! I wrote this song for those nocturnal shoppers.
