Christmas in the Bahamas
We're still in the Bahamas, where there's nary a snowflake to be seen! Right
now, we're in Georgetown, in the Exumas, and the wind is blowing - but no cattle lowing! Today, Lydia and I are going to be singing in a celebration on the beach on Christmas Eve. We've been thinking of how odd it is to hear the traditional songs: Dashing through the surf, in an open dinghy ride, o'er the waves we go, from the spray we hide! Our outboard sings its song, keeping spirits bright, oh what fun it is to sing our boating song tonight! OHHH, see the spray, crashing waves, water all around, oh what fun it is to fly across the open sou-ound, See the spray, crashing waves, water all around, oh what fun it is to fly across the open sou-ound! :{)) Because of the nature of how things are here, we can't just jump in the car to go to a rehearsal or to church. Everything involves a ride in the dinghy if we want to go somewhere! Actually, while there ARE the traditional Christmas songs playing on the speakers from the Conch Salad stand on the beach, we're going to sing the traditional Christmas carols for our service. Among all the traditional carols, we're doing "We three kings" with three guys singing harmony on the first and last verse. Each of us will do one of the gifts verses as a solo. Mine is Myrrh, as the dark bass. Hope all here have a blessed Christmas, or had a Happy Hannukah or Kwanza, and have a happy New Year.

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." |
