The first Moody Blues Christmas song was released on a charity CD and was never included on “December”. It has reappeared on a number of compilations under different names since the original release. I particularly love this song because, despite its release in 1992, it has the vintage sound and style of the albums recorded during 1967-72.
This is Day 10 of learning Windows XP movie maker. My goal was to work on more accurate edits by having plenty of slides to choose from and organizing them into sections that made visual sense. I decided to use a visual theme of different kinds of Christmas lights.
Like the “On the Road” video, this is incorporates faster edits to set a visual pace. Please provide feedback if you think the edits are too fast! I didn’t think these images were as overwhelming as those in “On the Road”, so I decided to try a quick pace again just to practice editing for rhythm.

I recently found out the musical composition was written by no other than King Henry VIII of England. In the 16th century. Whoever put the words to it completed a very lovely song. Back then and today it was titled Greensleeves.

I remember finding this on cassette tape in Payless many years ago and bought it just because of this cover of the song by the Moody Blues. I had long thought the Moody Blues could do a very good christmas album. Of course they did do a christmas one called December earlier this decade. It’s a good one I think they could have made a better one but all in all it was a good first and perhaps only chrismas album to ever come from the Moody Blues.
