Christmas Gifts CD
Full description:
Christmas Gifts
Jo's recording, Christmas Gifts, features a variety of traditional Christmas carols from various countries, both familiar and the less well-known, this CD will help put you in the holiday spirit. The myriad of emotions of the Advent and Christmas season are embodied by the improvisational performances, sensitively played by Jo on the Celtic harp. Featuring 18 tracks, including 15 harp solos, and 3 with Wayne Morrison on shuttle pipe joining Jo.
Griffin Humphries, my husband's grandfather, would always greet family and friends with a hearty "Christmas Gifts!" on Christmas morning. The family has adopted this custom and greets each other the same way. In researching this album, I discovered this custom extends far beyond my husband's family. It was a greeting used in the American South during the 1800s. In some areas, it was used by poorer folks as a Christmas Day greeting and request for a gift from their richer neighbors. Those who had gave coins or other small gifts to those who had not.
I have these wonderful Christmas carols and a harp to play them on, so this is my Christmas Gift to you.
