“LOVE IS CHRISTMAS” (Sara Bareilles Cover)

♡ Dedicated to Robert & Marilynne with love ♡

“Love Is Christmas” by Sara Bareilles is an untraditional Christmas-song that we recently discovered. The message really resonates with us; that the true spirit of Christmas is not about fancy parties, decorations, or gifts. It’s about love, and spending quality time with our loved ones. So as a refreshing departure from the traditional Christmas-song repertoire, we give you our rendition of this beautiful song. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! – J&L

Brand New “Personalized Birthday Video!”

Feast your eyes/ears upon our latest BIRTHDAY VIDEO!

A couple who hosted a garden-concert of ours in 2019 reached out to us and requested one of our “Personalized Birthday Videos” for their friend. They asked us to incorporate the classical piece “Der Gesang der Nachtigall” by Beethoven and “Stars” by Simply Red (in a Latin style). In addition, they wanted to include a segment where they, and some friends, each sing “Happy Birthday” and have us put them all together in a split-screen. So, we rolled up our sleeves and came up with this…

If you (or someone you know) would be interested in gifting a personalized birthday-song video, please contact us at JoeandLindaMusic@gmail.com. More info here: https://JoeandLindaMusic.com/personalized-birthday-song/
