Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: One average tune
of things (but in a more complete way than Kurtis Blow's 1980 recoridng ?Christmas Rappin'?
**Five Stars**
2.?Let The Jingle Bells Rock? - Sweet Tee
Known for her 'Love Rap' ?Why Did It Have To Be Me? (in LL Cool J's ?I Need Love? style), New York's Sweet Tee comes to thrown down a tune that acts as the complete oppostie to that rack Hip Hop ballad as we see that she rides the 'Amen' break and comes out with some fly rhymes that concentrate everything around warming imaginery that you tend to connect with Christmas time.
**Four Stars**
3.?Dana Dane Is Coming To Town? - Dana Dane
Here we get a funky jam that I really can't see any rooms for complaints in as we find that Dana Dane comes in with some storytelling rhymes that seem to take on all that Slick Rick was known for (even though he didn't debut as a solo artist until the year after ...
Advantages: Reminds you of christmas as a child and helps recreate a family christmas atmosphere Disadvantages: Absoultely none
I bough this CD a few years ago now for my daughter and must admit it is a really festive CD. The songs are all ones that you will recongnise and love and so will your children over the years.
To me Christmas is all about children and the songs odnthis CD bring that home to you. It's true christmas Carols and not these hyped up pop versions.
We play this every christmas now and it is one of the highlights for my daughter. She knows christmas is just aroung the corner when we start playing the CD and she even knows the words to some of the songs.

The following songs are on the CD which you will most definately recongise with a few of them some of your favourites I ...

The Gregorian Chant is probably one of the finest types of choral singing ever. In the entire history of the whole world. That's just so as you know where I am coming from on this one!
The history of the Gregorian Chant is an old one. It dates back to at least to the time of Pope Gregory I or Gregory the Great as he was otherwise known. Gregory abandoned his life as an up -and-coming young Roman patrician, of whom great things were expected. But he became a monk, instead. After being ordained by the pope, he eventually became pope himself. He served as pope between 590 to 604.

The Gregorian Chant is far from a dead form of choral music. Far from it. There is ...
