    I just received this through a Google alert for Phil Stacey. I am one of his "Philnatics," and I am so excited to hear him! He is an excellent singer, and has proven recently, at the "Lighting of the Green" at Lipscomb University, that he can do beautiful renditions of Christmas carols. And having been in choirs myself, it is so wonderful to hear some young people's voices. I will make sure I get me a copy, and if my funds allow me, get one for at least one loved one.
