Podcast Ping's Christmas Calendar Day 4

Day 4.

Three weeks left until Christmas.

Growing up Catholic, Christmas for me is first and foremost a
religious holiday. (Even though I would have ranked getting gifts
above going to church.) So I do have some religious content in the
calendar. And Christmas itself it too closely tied to Christianity
to completely eliminate it. But I've tried to keep it general
enough to interest those who aren't Christian.

And there's no reason a non-Christian can't enjoy Christian music.
I will admit that a large amount of it is bad. This is usually
because everyone it too polite to tell the artists how bad it is.
But there is some talent and every now and then an artist who isn't
part of the Christian music scene will do something suited to that
genre.

Ayla Brown (who I didn't know about because I never watch American
Idol) would probably consider herself mainstream. Despite the AI
connection, she does have a good voice. I happen to also have
another of her songs later on in the Calendar. This is one song
that could fit with Contemporary Christian music.
