Introduction

When Joey + Rory breathe life into a classic like “Let It Snow,” it feels like curling up by the fireplace with a warm cup of cocoa. Their version of this timeless holiday tune exudes a charm that’s uniquely theirs—a blend of nostalgia, heartfelt delivery, and down-home country warmth.

Originally written in 1945 by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne, “Let It Snow” is a song that paints a cozy picture of winter wonderlands and romantic evenings indoors while the world outside is blanketed in snow. While many artists have performed it over the years, Joey + Rory’s rendition stands out for its sincerity and simplicity.

Their rich, harmonious vocals create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and festive, transporting listeners to a place where snowflakes dance outside frosted windows and laughter echoes through the halls. Rory’s gentle guitar strumming perfectly complements Joey’s angelic voice, showcasing their unique ability to make even the most well-known songs feel deeply personal.

But what truly sets their version apart is the warmth they infuse into every note. Joey + Rory didn’t just perform this song; they lived its message—finding joy in the small moments and celebrating the beauty of togetherness, especially during the holidays. Whether you’re decorating your tree, sipping eggnog, or watching the snow fall outside, their version of “Let It Snow” is the perfect soundtrack to your winter memories.

This performance is more than just a holiday song; it’s a gentle reminder to pause, savor the season, and let love and gratitude fill the room—no matter how cold it is outside. It’s quintessential Joey + Rory: simple, soulful, and straight from the heart.

Lyrics

We took a trip down to the islands, |And we got a little carried away.|We thought we’d unwind, and lost track of time, |and we woke up on Christmas Day||Now back home there gathered ’round the tree, |stayin’ warm by fire light|But as I look around, the sun’s beatin’ down, |and there aint a cloud in sight||And I thought Lord…|Let it snow ….somewhere else|We can still sing Jingle Bells.|With our toes stuck in the sand, and a pair of mojitos in our hand|Its a wonderful time of year, |when its 85 and the sky is clear.|So let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow, just not here.||We’ll string lights on a palm tree, |pretend this beach chair is a sleigh|Build a snowman, out of sand, |and let the waves wash him away||Well back home there going door to door, |we’ll go caroling bar to bar.|And they can just ask Jimmy Buffett, |if they wanna know where we are.||Let it snow somewhere else|We can still sing Jingle Bells|With our toes stuck in the sand, and a pair of mojitos in our hand.|Its a wonderful time of year, |when its 85 and the sky is clear.|So let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow—somewhere else|Let it snow, just not here.||Oh the weather outside is frightful….NOT!|Let it snow… somewhere else|We can still sing Jingle Bells|With our toes stuck in the sand, and a frozen margarita in our hand|Its a wonderful time of year, |when its 85 and the sky is clear.|So let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow, just not here.||Let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow, |Just not here.|

Johnny Cash’s oldest brother Roy was the first Cash to make a small splash in the music industry. Roy started a band called the Dixie Rhythm Ramblers, who for a time had a show on radio station KCLN and played all around Arkansas. Johnny’s family also regularly sang spirituals together, either at the family home or at his grandparents’ dinner table. Johnny himself sang at school and in church, even once winning a talent show and the $5 that went with the victory. Despite his obvious interest in music and talent for it, Johnny wouldn’t get a guitar and start seriously writing songs until he joined the United States Air Force and was shipped away to Germany. His guitar, purchased in Oberammergau, cost about the same amount he’d won in that talent show years before. Soon, he was playing with a bunch of like-minded servicemen in a ragtag band branded the Landsberg Barbarians. He began to write songs, too, including the first version of his first big hit, “Folsom Prison Blues.” Although he would make half-hearted attempts to work a “real” job on his return from the service in 1954, mostly to support his new wife and children, Johnny Cash had found his path in life and pursued it from then on.

“I love this place like I love life itself,” Hank Jr. confessed, standing atop a granite ledge far above the valley floor where he once survived a harrowing 500-foot fall off Ajax Mountain in 1975. Despite that near-death experience, complete with the roar of rushing wind that felt like nature warning him to turn back, he remained a part-time resident of Montana for decades, describing its dense forests, sparkling rivers, and endless Big Sky as “probably the place that I love more than anywhere in the world.” That fierce connection to the land—and his unbreakable spirit—is perfectly captured in his signature anthem “A Country Boy Can Survive” by Hank Williams Jr., a song that makes you feel the call of the wild with every guitar strum and harmonica breath.

In the midst of a life-and-death battle, Toby Keith still reached out — for the kids. “I know the pain… and I don’t want these kids to face it alone.” At a fundraising event for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Toby showed up quietly. He wore a T-shirt that read “change kids’ health, change the future” — his face visibly thinner after treatment, but his smile… still intact. His eyes still shone, just like they always did. What struck people the most wasn’t a speech or a performance — it was the small sticker on his hand, scribbled in his own writing: “ALL KIDS.” No race. No background. No exceptions. Even while battling cancer himself, Toby chose to keep fighting — but this time, for someone else. And that’s why the world didn’t just love his voice… They loved his heart.

‘Living together with Johnny Cash was like starring in a real-life sitcom!’ In a heartfelt bid to stay close to the love of his life, June Carter, Cash leased a quaint one-bedroom apartment in Madison, Tennessee, and not long after, his longtime friend and musical partner Waylon Jennings moved in, turning the place into a hilarious “Odd Couple” experiment—Jennings dutifully tackled the dust and dishes while Cash whipped up legendary meals, only to leave a trail of flour and laughter in his wake. This whirlwind of camaraderie, loyalty, and perfectly imperfect chaos echoes through every chord of “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash, a song that June Carter herself helped ignite with her fiery spirit and boundless devotion
