Dianne de Las Casas & Vince Vance at Christmas Holiday Concert, Fountain Park Centre - 12-21-08

Friends:

My family and I attended a Christmas Concert at Fountain Park Centre in Harvey, LA (suburb of New Orleans). The park is a new upscale retail and restaurant development. The concert featured Vince Vance, songwriter and creator of the #1 Christmas song in the U.S. – “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” We all caroled with Vince Vance. He asked for people to come up and since so guess who was picked? LOL

When I got on the stage, I asked him if I could have help. He said yes so I asked my 18 year old daughter, Soleil, to join me. We sang “Winter Wonderland.” I did the melody and Soleil took the harmony. It was wonderful!

Then Vince Vance asked kids to accomany him on stage. Eliana, my 8 year old, and her cousins went on stage. Eliana is the one in the middle, holding the microphone. They sang Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Too cute!

I guess I have a family of performers! It was quite chilly that night so we were all bundled up. Though the weather outside was frightful, we all had a wonderful time Christmas Caroling. Thank you, Vince Vance for spreading your holiday cheer! Merry Christmas!

Until next time…

Warmly, Dianne
