Christmas Traditions of Music with JohnThompson

What would Christmas be without music? I don’t believe Christmas would be the same without holiday music on the radio, in the stores and in my car during December. And Christmas would not be the same without Christmas carols in church. “Music touches individuals in a way that nothing else can.” I spoke with my choir director the Reverend John Thompson, Music Director at Walnut Hills Baptist Church in Williamsburg, about the tradition of music. John has been at Walnut Hills since 1998. He is a graduate of William Carey University, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and the College of William & Mary. John and his wife live in Yorktown, Virginia.
