Peter Mayer - Stars and Promises - Harmony.
Smoke Rise Baptist Church, Stone Mountain

Twenty-six years ago, in December of 1999, when I was helping Mike Davis and Peter Mayer promote the very first Stars and Promises Christmas Concert at Smoke Rise Baptist Church in Stone Mountain, Georgia I along with thousands, if not millions of people had no clue about what a historic holiday concert it would become, and how Peter’s extraordinary, beautiful, original Christmas music would weave its way into not only the DNA fabric of our souls but evolve to define the beginning of the Christmas season for so many.

Stars and Promises is embedded deep in my Christmas Heart, along with all the other classic Christmas songs, musicians, shows, and programs that have meant so much to me throughout my life. Like so many others around the nation, the Christmas season begins with the joyous Christmas music of Peter Mayer and his incomparable tribe of traveling musicians, as the magic of this annual event grows stronger with each passing year. Last night's show was indeed magical, as expected. Still, it was wonderful to catch up with two old friends, reminiscing about many years gone by, our late friend, Jimmy Buffett, and contemplating our future as musicians in the blessed time we have left to bring beauty to this world. So now, for me, the show is over, and the Christmas season is here. May yours be filled with joy, love, and beautiful music.
