Heather - Thanks for doing this.     I wish I could hear!!!

Third Reader - So clear I can hear the story!!!

Story about a man and woman, Floyd and Rose Marie, who met at a USO dance, spent as much time together as they could while he was in the service, he got called to service and had to go to Japan.  They vowed to stay in touch and wanted to plan a future together.  Christmas came and the Rose Marie was miserable because the love of her life was not there with her even though Christmas was her favorite time of the year.  Floyd's  tour got extended and would be gone for a second Christmas.  She wrote to him just prior to Christmas to tell him she loved him and that she would be okay without him there at Christmas.  The family was listening to the radio and her father encouraged all of them to listen to the radio.  The story was very similar to that of herself and Floyd and as the story went on the song IBHFC was dedicated to Rose Marie from Floyd, who had been given and early leave from Japan and was on his way home that day.  They spent that Christmas together and the next 50 as well.  The reader is the daughter of Floyd and Rose Marie and she also told of her mother's passing on December 10, 2005 and how they played Christmas music at the service...

    Hi Woody

Fourth Reader

Two little girls dressed in matching dresses, she felt she was too old to be wearing the same dress as her sister.  She just wanted ice skates for Christmas.  She saw some hanging on a tree by the pond they skated on.  She knew they were for her, but couldn't prove it.  One day there were sleigh tracks on the pond, mentions of Santa and his reindeer.  Eventually the brand new skates were gotten out of the tree by her father and grandfather and they all went skating as a family with her in her new skates.

He sure does and it is even more obvious when you see him sing them live.  Awesome

[heater]

DSIA sounds so good tonight!

A few little nuances here and there

The glory note was very, very strong

He blows the stream out every time when he sings the end of this song.   

Excellent!

[heater]

All Is Well

I can't get over how incredible this sounds tonight.  Part of it is the clear stream, but most of it is Clay being in such great voice.

He hit the first glory note with absolutely no problem.

From where I sit, he nailed the last note as well!

The crowd sure liked it!!
