Have A Fancy Yancy Christmas

Have a Fancy Yancy Christmas

I discovered a few months ago exactly why Yancy has a website called Yancynotnancy, on a number of occasions as she was introduced to well meaning people down here in Australia, this would happen (or something close to this):

Introducer: Hey , this is Yancy.

Yancy: Hi there!

Person: Hi… Nancy?

Yancy: No… Yancy…

Person: Nancy?

Yancy: No… Yancy… with a Y.

Person: Y’Nancy?

Yancy: (a sigh as she quietly dies a little more inside) Yeah… you got it.

Anyway, she has a new album out, and what timing she has for it’s a CHRISTMAS album!

Have a Fancy Yancy Christmas is available on good old fashioned diamox prescription CD at Amazon, her website, and Itunes.

I have a bunch of Christmas albums that are on heavy rotation during the Christmas season… some Harry Connick Jr., Destiny’s Child, Israel Houghton and Vince Guaraldi…

Yancy joins that esteemed alumni on my iTunes playlist and fits in just fine! The production on this album is absolutely top notch, great programming and brilliant guitar work. We will be using this in our mix for our December services in Hillsong Kids for sure! And as I have mentioned before on this blog it’s great to see music (especially kids music) coming from Artists not just compilations from big music labels.

Dave out.

Boomerang Express

I have at odd times in my life attempted costco vitamin prices an American accent. But thankfully never on video because I am sure that I would just embarass myself (well actually there exists some footage of myself as Sheriff Fluffles from the deep south at our Kidsong World conference, but you will never see that)

I am sure that Boomerang Express is a fine VBS, but I am not sure if that accent quite does justice to it!

High Schools and Ice Skating

Friday afternoon, 3pm in a corporate suite in the Acer Arena Sydney (it’s not what you know, but who!)

High School Musical: The Ice Tour

School holidays were on, so stadium packed with mum’s and kids!

Review: Show is basically movie 1 and 2 in two halves. From where I was sitting all the skaters looked like their movie counterparts. I don’t think that many kids would have realised they weren’t from the movie, unless you had front row seats.

So a fun afternoon hanging with Troy and Gabriella… what can I apply to ministry?

Well thousands of kids are much easier to manage with their parents sitting with them!

When Dave Saw Harry

Harry Connick concert went OFF!

Harry Connick

Terrible picture I know, but an absolutely brilliant concert. He is a BRILLIANT entertainer and got two standings O’s at the end. I have never seen him live before, mainly owing to the fact that I grew up in New Zealand, and the only musicians that made the trip were either buskers, or doing it for charity… (it’s expensive to get to Middle Earth).

So one of the perks of being in Sydney is that you get a few more acts come through.

The band played a bunch of stuff from his lastest album Oh, My NOLA. He did a bunch of songs from that, and a whole lotta New Orleans old school! (St James Infirmary Blues, Basin Street Blues…)

There is a great cheapest price alli target=”_blank”>Wikipedia page up about the tour, check it out if you are into it!

A great finish to a BIG Easter weekend.
