Yeah...this is the one that really started the avalanche of rockers doing holidays songs. While it didn't make the cut on my blog...I'm glad it did on yours. It's one of my many holiday faves.
Warm wishes to you and yours on this Christmas afternoon...as the rain in Madison just turned to snow. A sign, perhaps?
And, here's the story behind the song...which was released by both ELP and Greg Lake (http://tinyurl.com/y9va878). The subtle difference? The swell of the orchestration at the end. I used to be able to tell them apart...not sure I can anymore ;)
The amazing images of the Lake Michigan shoreline in the header of my blog appear courtesy of photographer, Lisa Lehmann. You can see more of her work here.
In addition to writing this screed, I am the Director of Strategy and Innovation at OBX Thinking. I can be reached via email at harvey@obxthinking.com. You can follow me on twitter @OBX_Harvey (I promise, no tweets about what I had for breakfast) and you can always look me up on Facebook and LinkedIn to connect there.
