The story of peace on earth is not new and is needed now more than ever. This year has been especially filled with world events that do not resemble peace in the world.
We hope that No Ordinary Christmas will speak to the hearts of many in Kenya and around the world during this holiday season.

“This is another appearance on Mike Bishop’s short-lived talk show in Bermuda. I had just been a guest on the show about a month previous to this, but Mike wanted me back on to sing my “12 Days of Bermuda Christmas” song. This is the only video recording of a live performance of this song – that I know of. That makes it pretty rare…we should keep it that way…for those of you that don’t know, it’s SUPPOSED to sound pretty bad…”
A favorite holiday tradition in Bermuda is the annual Christmas Walkabout, hosted by the Bermuda National Trust. Christmas lights blanket the charming town of St. George’s and revelers enjoy plenty of entertainment throughout the evening.
Enjoy these highlights from the 2012 walkabout, held December 7th!

Mommies and daddies always believe That their little angels are special indeed And you could grow up to be anything But who would imagine a king? A shepherd or teacher is what you could be Or maybe a fisherman out on the sea Or maybe a carpenter building things But who would imagine a king?
It was so clear when the wise men arrived And the angels were singing your name That the world would be different ’cause you were alive That’s what heaven stood still to proclaim One day an angel said quietly That soon he would bring something special to me And of all of the wonderful gifts he could bring Who would imagine, who could imagine, Who would imagine a king?
Who Would Imagine A King was originally sung by Whitney Houston.
Clinark releases his first official Christmas Song in Reggae/Pop Style, Give A Love On Christmas Day .. a cover of The Jackson 5 original from their 1970 “Christmas Album.”
HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. Blessed Holidays From Clinark & Nuture Projects Music!
