I finally, after all these decades, looked up the English lyrics and read them while listening to: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Good people all, this Christmas time Consider well and bear in mind What our good God for us has done In sending his beloved son With Mary holy we should pray To God with love this Christmas Day In Bethlehem upon that morn There was a blessed Messiah born Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep To whom God's angels did appear Which put the shepherds in great fear 'Prepare and go, ' the angels said 'To Bethlehem, be not afraid For there you'll find, this happy morn A princely babe, sweet Jesus born With thankful heart and joyful mind The shepherds went, this babe to find And as God's angel had foretold They did our saviour Christ behold Within a manger he was laid And by his side the virgin maid Attending on the Lord of life Who came on earth to end all strife Good people all, this Christmas time Consider well and bear in mind What our good God for us has done In sending his beloved Son With Mary holy we should pray To God with love this Christmas day In Bethlehem upon that morn There was a blessed Messiah born Source: Musixmatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelic voice. I’ve also often said I could listen to Morgan Freeman read the phone book. ( But this is veering off the original topic.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall playing her and Robert Plant performing Led Zeppelin's Black Dog for Mrs. Doc, and her jaw just dropped. One of the few times she has been near speechless. I wish there were a high quality version of the two of them performing The Battle of Evermore. A couple of the versions I've heard have sent chills.

Ozark Shark Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Yes, Allison is a fabulous musician. Definitely the voice of an angel, but she can also bury the devil with her fiddle playing. I remember her as a young teen fiddler winning competitions all over Illinois. She grew up in Champaign where she studied violin with Paul Zonn, Violin Professor at the University of Illinois. She often found herself competing against Paul's daughter Andrea. Fast forward 40 years and both of them have had phenomenal careers in folk, blue grass and country, Allison as a headliner and Andrea as one of the top studio and backup fiddlers in the business.
