Merry Christmas - Sharing My Favorite Song

Merry Christmas to all of you.

Woke up very early as usual since the kids woke me up to open presents :) We went to church as usual (every year on Xmas day)...as we were coming home in the car, I was tuned to KOIT 96.5. This time of year, KOIT 96.5 is pretty much playing Xmas music all day long. To get into the Xmas spirit, I decided to leave the radio station on all day. I heard one of my favorite songs in a very Christmas-y fashion. As a wedding photographer, one of the songs that I hear a lot is Canon by Pachelbel. At the same time, Canon is one of my favorite songs...EVER. I get all tingly every time I hear it when a bride walks down the aisle. I am very particular when it comes to this song. It has to be in a certain tempo and if it is played via a church organ or by a trio/quartet (preferred). I still remember the best version that I've heard was during Vicky and Michael's wedding this year. Vicky's friends from Julliard school of music had the BEST interpretation. I can still "hear" the music when I close my eyes.

Anyhow, I want to share this new version that I heard from the radio today (click below to goto iTunes):
