Mark & Greta Perform and Lead Caroling Party
2024-12-21 15:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | OR
One of the varied experiences in our musical careers has been leading caroling parties. We did it last weekend and do it again this Saturday, Dec 21, at a private gathering in Oregon City, across the Willamette River from our home. We mix it up with sacred and secular, including a rousing vocal harmony/scat version of “Jingle Bell Rock” and Greta’s ecumenical songs “Holiday Time” and “Kwanzaa is Here.” To hear a sample and to download the audio of her two songs, visit Songs For Teaching: https://www.songsforteaching.com/store/greta-pedersen-c-1047.html
