Song: “Christmas for Cowboys”
In Their Words: “‘Christmas for Cowboys’ was penned by Steve Weisberg, long time sideman with John Denver. In much the same way art derived from feeling lonesome and blue can provide comfort and warmth, this song has always given me a sense of peace through the holidays. For so many, the Christmas season is highlighted by family gatherings, celebrations, and togetherness. The past few holiday seasons have taught me to appreciate all of the gifts surrounding me, including those that aren’t so obvious. The sight and sound of falling snow, the stillness and solitude of winter, the simplicity of Mother Nature, and how sacred it feels, just to be alive. Merry Christmas!” — Aaron Bibelhauser
