opportunity to share not only the popular Holiday songs, but the Christian Christmas songs as well. People of all ages have made Wakefield Court their
tradition during the Christmas Season. The person sitting behind me in the video is my son, Andrew, playing bass guitar. Jonathan Land vocals, Greg and
Kevin Fullemen drums and saxophone. The young lady dancing in the Santa outfit is, Wendy Means, who also is one of our vocalists who devotes much of
her time each year singing for those who visit Wakefield Court. I enjoy so much, seeing the little children and adults having fun, sharing the joy of this
Holiday Season with the community, and pray that it may continue for many years to come! Christopher W. French
In Santa Clarita, California, many of the neighborhood streets and individual
homes compete for the best decorated, most well lit-up displays during the
Christmas Holiday Season. The local newspaper, The Signal, on a given day
drive through and judge these streets and homes, then publish what they
believe were the best for their "Holiday Light Tour". Multitudes of people
then drive out to these locations looking to enjoy such Holiday beauty and
atmosphere. Wakefield Court, won 1st place many times for being one of the
best decorated streets. One Christmas Season, in 2000, my family and I
drove around Santa Clarita Valley looking at all the Christmas lights and
decorations people put up on their homes. As we drove through Wakefield
Court, an idea came to me..."Wouldn't it be nice if someone was playing live
Christmas music while all these people walked and cars drove through?"
Well, I didn't waste any time, I knocked on the door of one of the neighbors,
introduced myself and shared my idea with a man named, Dave. At first, he
looked at me a little strangely (he had no idea who I was) but then he said,
"That sounds like a great idea!" That very next weekend I began playing
Christmas songs in the garage of one of the many friendly homes on
Wakefield Court, and continue to play there every year! The neighbors are all
so friendly, and the Christmas spirit is alive and well, obvious for all to see
and enjoy! One of the favorite songs the kids and parents request is, Charlie
Brown (I am playing in the video). Actually the true name is, Linus and Lucy,
written by, Vince Guaraldi, from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" 1965. It's
not unusual to see children of the neighborhood and those passing through
dancing in the streets and driveways to our music. I am so blessed with the
