Christmas Songs

My eventual goal with this website is to set it up to feature all of my creative outlets instead of only focusing on the photography. So you could say this is a first step in that direction.

This year I've decided to record some instrumental versions of Christmas songs and I've got the first one done. I spent about a week working out the arrangement and recording "The First Noel" and I'm happy with how it came out.

Currenty I'm working on "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" and I should have that finished up in a couple of days.

You can hear all of the songs I record for Christmas '08 at this URL... gregburt.com/music/xmas.html

More Birds

With the days getting shorter and the weather getting colder, the birds are going a little crazy around the bird feeder when there's a storm on the way. When the red bellied woodpecker flew in all the other smaller birds scattered. Otherwise the little birds, mostly finches, were fighting for space on the feeder which was fun to watch and take photos of (especially if you're a nature photography geek like me).

Finch
