I thought it would neat to provide a link to the various feast days that are revered by every person of every faith at this time of year. Is it any wonder that, come January, we are all exhausted? But, it certainly is a magical time of year and I wait in child-like anticipation each year for December to arrive. Doesn’t everbody?

So, my “Masterclass” writing has taken a backseat to the visits and dinners and concerts and musical preparations that inevitably coincide during the latter part of November and all of December.

I have yet to review David Archuleta’s and David Cook’s CDs, although there are a couple of articles below this one about their recording success.

This will happen, along with a review of The Canadian Tenors’ glorious new CD, as well as more news about Jaydee Bixby and a follow-up to Matt Humphrey’s video.

And could someone bring me up to date on Jason Castro’s activities? When is he going to sing to us again via the internet? I want to hear some soulful holiday music from Jason and David A. -a duet, perhaps?

And stay tuned for a Masterclass review of the outstanding new holiday CD, Remember December, by Canadian a cappella group, The Essentials. I just saw them in concert with the Timmins Concert Singers and they rocked the house “big time”. Love you guys!

So, as you can see, I will be a busy little Masterclass elf, won’t I? So, thank you for your patience and to all my American friends, Happy Thanksgiving.
