For the past 3 or 4 years, I’ve been contemplating recording a Christmas album…and each year I either lost my steam or became too busy with school work. Therefore its ironic that I am able to put this out here in spite of all the projects that are due. Nonetheless, this is my gift to you all: my feeble attempt at compiling a few songs that hopefully captures the Christmas spirit. Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, I really hope you will try to enjoy the music.
I hadn’t noticed, but I didn’t serve on a LOAH team for the summer of 2008. Anyway, here are the chopped up recordings of the night, presented in 128kbps MP3 format, with full streaming (you might have to wait for it to buffer a bit if your connection isn’t that fast).
The line-up for that night:
Vocalists: Sharon Chu, Renee Cheng, Karmel Wong, Tristan Poon
Keyboard: Dorinda Mui
Guitar: Adwin Lam
Drums: Benson Lam
BIG THANKS TO TIM FOR HIS A/V WORK THAT NIGHT. IT WAS SUPERB, AND I USUALLY CRITICIZE THE CRAP OUT OF MOST A/V-ERS. A++++++++++++++++ DEFINITELY WOULD ASK FOR AGAIN.
Personally, I would have chosen to play more “secular” songs from bands such as Lifehouse, Switchfoot, Three Days Grace, Anberlin and others, instead of the straight up praise and worship repertoire…but nonetheless, I hope the music can be enjoyed. I especially recommend listening to the following tracks in this order, 0-sec delay between them if possible: 6, 7, 9, 10. All rights reserved to original artists, no infringement intended.

As a celebration of the Victoria Day weekend, Jaffray held a “Taste of Spring” community event which featured food, a jumping castle (!!!), live music and…dancing lessons! All proceeds went to the upcoming community children day camp, and it was a very beautiful sunny day. The strictly audio portion of this post is sourced from my Creative ZMP and will be noticeably louder than the videos, due to the fact that the player was in my jacket pocket during the entire recording. Video was shot on a Samsung MX20 in native MP4 format, but has been converted to FLV for your viewing pleasure. Videos in the original source can be found at my Vimeo account. And for the first time ever…both FLV and audio can be streamed on the blog (thanks to Embedded Video and Audio Player) — I’ll get on my own player when I’m not busy anymore (as if).
