Yeah, yeah, yeah, you do. 19 00:00:54,613 --> 00:00:57,773 Speaker 2: There's something I never I need. Like as a kid, 20 00:00:57,813 --> 00:00:59,813 Speaker 2: I could never understand. I would look up at my 21 00:00:59,853 --> 00:01:02,053 Speaker 2: parents and be like, man, why are they excited about 22 00:01:02,093 --> 00:01:04,013 Speaker 2: presents and all that kind of thing. But of course, 23 00:01:04,493 --> 00:01:06,173 Speaker 2: the moment you get a little bit of a few 24 00:01:06,173 --> 00:01:09,933 Speaker 2: more runs on the board, you realize that actually, some 25 00:01:09,973 --> 00:01:11,773 Speaker 2: of them. A big part of the magic of Christmas 26 00:01:11,853 --> 00:01:14,413 Speaker 2: comes through seeing it through children's eyes, doesn't it. 27 00:01:14,493 --> 00:01:18,373 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yes, yes, yeah, so yeah. So we're spending 28 00:01:18,413 --> 00:01:22,613 Speaker 3: our Christmas of our grandchildren and their family and in 29 00:01:22,733 --> 00:01:25,413 Speaker 3: laws and that sort of thing, and we like them 30 00:01:25,453 --> 00:01:28,013 Speaker 3: all and we're all get on well, so that it 31 00:01:28,053 --> 00:01:30,413 Speaker 3: should be. It should be a lovely day when taught 32 00:01:30,493 --> 00:01:30,653 Speaker 3: to it. 33 00:01:30,693 --> 00:01:33,733 Speaker 2: Oh, that'll be fantastic, Kevin. And speaking of Christmas, you'd 34 00:01:33,733 --> 00:01:35,933 Speaker 2: like to talk this morning about meaningful music. 35 00:01:36,733 --> 00:01:39,773 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, A radio station once invited me to name 36 00:01:39,973 --> 00:01:43,093 Speaker 3: one song that meant the most to me, and that'd 37 00:01:43,093 --> 00:01:46,373 Speaker 3: play it, asking listeners what song meant the most of 38 00:01:46,453 --> 00:01:49,893 Speaker 3: them was going to become a daily feature of their program. 39 00:01:50,293 --> 00:01:54,013 Speaker 3: I'd be the first contributor and set the course. I 40 00:01:54,093 --> 00:01:58,373 Speaker 3: take those sorts of requests overly seriously, Jack, as if 41 00:01:58,653 --> 00:02:02,493 Speaker 3: my entire reputation depended on it. I thought about it 42 00:02:02,533 --> 00:02:06,613 Speaker 3: for days. What song meant the most to me? When 43 00:02:06,613 --> 00:02:09,013 Speaker 3: I got back to them, it wasn't love of my life? 44 00:02:09,133 --> 00:02:13,733 Speaker 3: By Queen, or Yesterday by the Beatles, or Fields of 45 00:02:13,773 --> 00:02:17,973 Speaker 3: Gold by Sting. It was the two hundred year old 46 00:02:18,053 --> 00:02:23,773 Speaker 3: Christmas carol Silent Night. For me. Silent Night, especially played 47 00:02:23,773 --> 00:02:28,133 Speaker 3: by a brass band, brings back rich childhood memories of 48 00:02:28,173 --> 00:02:32,573 Speaker 3: the happiest of times, Christmas tree lights, the excitement of 49 00:02:32,573 --> 00:02:37,573 Speaker 3: opening presents, the Salvation Army Band playing in the christ streets, 50 00:02:38,013 --> 00:02:42,573 Speaker 3: playing their carols even midnight Mass with my family. It 51 00:02:42,653 --> 00:02:46,133 Speaker 3: also reminds me of sad times when my brother was 52 00:02:46,213 --> 00:02:50,213 Speaker 3: killed in a car crash fifty nine years ago today, 53 00:02:50,293 --> 00:02:54,973 Speaker 3: just before Christmas. Anyway, I let the radio producer know 54 00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:58,813 Speaker 3: my selection was Silent Night, and I wanted it played 55 00:02:58,813 --> 00:03:02,253 Speaker 3: by a brass band. She was surprised. I think they 56 00:03:02,333 --> 00:03:05,373 Speaker 3: had pop songs in mind, given I was first up. 57 00:03:05,653 --> 00:03:09,373 Speaker 3: Maybe they were worried my unusual choice might skew the 58 00:03:09,373 --> 00:03:14,693 Speaker 3: whole segment, but they played Silent Night for me. Over 59 00:03:14,733 --> 00:03:18,093 Speaker 3: the years, their segment turned out to be very successful. 60 00:03:18,493 --> 00:03:23,293 Speaker 3: Everyone else but me named their favorite pop song. I 61 00:03:23,413 --> 00:03:28,733 Speaker 3: never regretted choosing Silent Night, which, like Christmas itself, has 62 00:03:28,773 --> 00:03:32,893 Speaker 3: a mix of joy and sadness about it. In fact, 63 00:03:33,493 --> 00:03:36,613 Speaker 3: I reckon if you asked our listeners to name the 64 00:03:36,653 --> 00:03:40,213 Speaker 3: one song that means the most of them. Silent Night 65 00:03:40,733 --> 00:03:46,013 Speaker 3: would pop up frequently, especially now that I've promoted it. 66 00:03:46,253 --> 00:03:50,213 Speaker 3: May you Jack, Producer, Libby and all our listeners enjoy 67 00:03:50,293 --> 00:03:53,893 Speaker 3: the holiday break, and may you get plenty of sleep 68 00:03:54,053 --> 00:03:55,293 Speaker 3: and heavenly peace. 69 00:04:13,453 --> 00:04:13,773 Speaker 1: Ah. 70 00:04:13,853 --> 00:04:16,773 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is stirring, isn't it, Kevin? It's a beautiful 71 00:04:16,893 --> 00:04:19,933 Speaker 2: It's a beautiful, stirring song, especially as performed by a 72 00:04:19,973 --> 00:04:23,093 Speaker 2: brass band. It was very specific, very specific. 73 00:04:22,813 --> 00:04:27,213 Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. Yeah, yes, I think you're right too. Songs. Sorry, 74 00:04:27,493 --> 00:04:30,213 Speaker 3: it comes out so much better played by a brass 75 00:04:30,253 --> 00:04:32,853 Speaker 3: band and outside on the streets. 76 00:04:33,093 --> 00:04:36,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're right, kind of out, you know, an 77 00:04:36,413 --> 00:04:39,013 Speaker 2: alfrescoey atmosphere kind of thing. A. 78 00:04:39,333 --> 00:04:42,613 Speaker 3: Yeah. Do you remember Jack and christ they've got the 79 00:04:43,213 --> 00:04:46,453 Speaker 3: Salvation Army band I do around Christmas? 80 00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:51,053 Speaker 2: Yeah I do.
