Our contemporary group sang Michael Smith’s Christmastime on Sunday. The women doing the angelic chorus part and the men in our group doing the Smith solo part. I was once told this song was first created when Smith was at his children’s school. He was asked to play something at Christmastime, he got going on the musical theme to it’s Christmastime. He had everyone singing this new tune. Smith got so involved he stayed playing with the theme and creating the rest of the song as everyone else left to continue the scheduled events. Do you suppose his daughters were somewhat disdainful of his obsessive actions? Yeah, I think so.
