"Silent night" - but not too loud please

One of the most popular carols internationally is "Silent night, holy night."  Musicians please take note - not too loud or too fast please! The music must suit the words.

Once I was in Chinatown about Christmas time and heard the blaring of the carol "Silent night."  Josef Mohr and Franz Gruber must have turned over in their graves! Some of our young people and the not so young have the habit of strumming the guitar and banging their drums so loudly and at great speed that it makes you cringe,

Please be sensitive to the words, "Silent night, holy night, all is calm all is bright" Sing and play it gently please!
