Simeon’s Song by swo8 Blues Jazz from the Christmas Album in iTunes
It’s coming up for the count down, Christmas is in 3 days. So I’m posting a song narrated by our younger son Dio. It is directly from the Bible and a story that isn’t often mentioned. It’s about a man, called Simeon who was told he wouldn’t die before seeing the Messiah. 4:51min.
Holy of Holy Blues by swo8 Blues Jazz
We are coming close to the holiest time of the season so what better way to pay tribute than to play the blues. 2:23min.
The Despairing Child by L. Martel
This is a 20″ x 24″ oil on canvas painted sometime ago. I saw a photo in a newspaper that gave me the idea for the painting. It is something that one really doesn’t want to see – a child in despair. But we must be mindful of this. The painting resides with our younger son and his wife and family.

Don’t Diss Your Moma by swo8 Blues Jazz from the Christmas Album in iTunes
This song arose from a challenge some years ago. A lot of things really happened and the pictures are real. It seemed like a catastrophe at the time. Our boys were wild ones and they managed to find the hidden Christmas presents and did their naughty deeds. We can laugh at it now, but, boy was Mom (that would be me) mad. 3:25 min.
Ah at Santa’s Village by swo8 Blues Jazz from the Christmas Album on iTunes
Continuing with the focus on children, swo8 came up with this song with a lot of footage of Santa’s Village. Enjoy and if you have children or grandchildren they might like it. 2:25 min.
The Reader by L. Martel
This is a special time of year for children and so I’m featuring some drawings I have done in the past. This one is of a young boy sitting in his rocking chair reading a book. It is pencil on sketch pad approximately 10′ x 15″.
This and That Blues by swo8 Blues Jazz from the Christmas album in iTunes
Time is flying by so fast I’m already into Christmas mode. I’ve been cooking and baking all weekend. Had a few catastrophes – broke a bottle of Rosemary, and knocked over a bowl of cottage cheese mixed with Parmesan.. The kitchen floor needs a good scrub. The point of this song is the materialization of Christmas. Perhaps if I didn’t have so many mouths to feed I wouldn’t have to cook so much…do you think? 3:11min.
