I loved your program and Terence Knight's selections. On the whole he is very well informed but I was disappointed that he didn't answer Leonard's question about the type of music that is played in Advent vs. Christmas carols. The season of Advent is a time of waiting for the Savior's birth. Christmas carols are appropriately used in worship on Christmas eve, Christmas day and the "church season" of Christmas that lasts until Epiphany that marks the coming of the Wise Men.
