Lee Murdock has been doing his Christmas Ship Concerts for many years now. This year is the 17th anniversary and he will be returning to the site of the original Christmas Ship Concert, at the Historic Maple Street Chapel in Lombard, Illinois. The Christmas Ship was a ship in the 1800s in the Great Lakes which took pine trees from the woods up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and up in Wisconsin and brought them down to Chicago as Christmas trees. Murdock wrote a song about this and fashioned a whole program around it. He is famous for this song, as well as numerous other songs about shipping, particularly on the Great Lakes. Check out his schedule.
