We just got finished doing a week of set-up and rehearsals for our 5 Christmas concerts this past weekend. It was an original program set in the 1940's. The concept was a 40's radio show broadcast LIVE from a dinner club called "The Blue Note." We put together a big band for all the music, had church actors do actual radio commercials broadcast back in the 40's, and was complete with all the sights and sounds of a 1940's dinner club. IT WAS AMAZING!! Today is the first of several video posts helping you get in the Christmas spirit and to experience a small taste of what we did. So this is the song originally written by Desi Arnaz and then later updated by Jim Carrey in the movie "The Mask." The one that I did was somewhere in the middle. ~:)>
