Christmas Musical

Growing up I use to attend musical performances around Christmas time. Anything from church choirs to chorus shows or a musical traveling through town who plays at local school or performing arts center. I have gotten out of the habit of taking in music during this holiday season.

This year I attended a show put on by a friend Dave Villano. Dave plays the violin, guitar, and the banjo and is super talented. I have a few of his CDs and have seen him perform at weddings before. This year he had two shows, one in Colorado Springs & another in Lone Tree about a week apart. I attended the Lone Tree show and it was amazing! I am so glad I went as Dave puts on an amazing show but it was refreshing to hear live Christmas music this time of year.

I really enjoyed the Christmas music enough to consider attending a few more shows as well as Dave's concert next year. I am not sure if live Christmas music will become one of my Christmas traditions (I am happy with the two traditions I have...looking at Christmas lights at night & drinking Peppermint mocha Kahlua). Maybe there is room for one more tradition and it will be live holiday music.
