O Holy Night!

You might think that some of the holiday music in our collection is not top-notch but I can guarantee that nothing we own is as disastrous as the recording of "O Holy Night" you can hear in the above video. Long lay the world, debating over whether this was a professional singer having a joke at our expense or a legitimate attempt at recording the song by a singer whose gifts are lacking. I even wondered if it was a Homer Simpson impersonator. Librarians love a good research mystery and it has taken some time for the offending vocalist to be found, but ladies and gentlemen, he is Steve Mauldin (wow, is that close to maudlin...), and in the video below you can hear his explanation and proof of his identity, as well as his attempt to recreate his shining moment of glory. Yow.



Whatever music you enjoy this holiday season, I hope it sounds absolutely NOTHING like this. :) Peace and cheer to you this Christmas and New Year.
