Thanks, everyone. I was thinking, "I wonder if anyone will reply to this message," and then I've got all these great replies! Warms my heart. One reason I wanted songs with words (rather than instrumental music) is that my family has a big tradition of singing Christmas carols together for about an hour on Christmas Eve, and I wanted to put a little balance into the tradition with the Solstice songs.
Yes, Mists of Avalon is long, but I love it! I've got about 200 pages to go, and I'll be sad when it's over.
Elle, I might just take you up on that offer! It'd be a great chance to talk, too.
