1. Liner notes:

   “When I told friends I was recording a Live Christmas Concert in September, one joked, ‘So what’s next, a 4th of July celebration in January?’ It was a little crazy to be looking for Christmas trees, decking the halls, and rehearsing Christmas tunes out of season, but the Spirit of Christmas defies the norm, breaks the ‘rules,’ and awakens us in unexpected ways. At 8pm, September 6, in the Martha Rivers Ingram Hall at Vanderbilt University, among musicians, technicians, video crew, sound crew, and an audience full of friends and fans willing to ring out the bells a little early, we were carried into Christmas: A Star to guide us, a song to remind us, the promises of Christmas were here, alive for any season.” Peter Mayer
