Hi listeners and welcome to Season 4 episode 1.
In this episode we’ll recap the past month as a bit has happened.
We’ll also deep dive in to the song Once in a Royal Davids City.
I ask for help with next month’s episode and get to listen to another chapter on The Christmas Carol from vinyl.

I don’t know if you would consider my Christmas CD collection particularly large, I only have about a 120 Christmas CD’s. When I did a search, I found only 2 versions of “Once in King David’s Royal David’s city”. One was a Choral version, and the other was part of an instrumental medley. Apparently not the most popular song in the Christmas cannon. Thanks for the show

Awesome work Stewart. I’ll put these in the next episode. I particularly like the Robin Gibb version. I’m going to give this album a listen and do a bonus episode on it later in the year. Thanks again for listening and your feedback.
