I'm looking to bolster my Christmas music playlist for '09 - last years selection in the Music Forum was pretty good
Anyone have any good picks for the holidays?
Oh yeah, KarlF, I have to bring this one back - my best wishes to you and your bride for a Glad Yul and a Happy, Healthy New Year, since she and I share the same improbable ethnic background...

Christmas Music..... the time between December 1, and the 25th... Truly the one time of year I miss daily non stop excessive drinking... I don't know how I get thru it... Thank goodness for sirius/xm .. and the trusty cd player....
hmmm jorgie jorgensen.... a Swedish Gem.... as one Swede said to me years ago, when we first met...(I had real blonde hair along with the blue eyes then).. he shook my hand and said... "brother Swede... I feel your pain"...
hmmm I could dig out that old Tiny Tim classic... or I could risk getting banned for life here... I got a REAL Good Denis Leary one..... ...
Chuck did you get the James Taylor Christmas album I recommended???
RIJimmy....gonna get that HC Jr. album!
Yup, sure did, Larry - it's been a favorite, 1st CD I played when I broke out the holiday stuff - great mix of songs.
I got it last year and while I was burning some Christmas music for my 97 year old uncle's new stereo system, I included the JT Christmas album
He's a lifelong jazz afficianado, has 78's going back to the 1920's, so I recorded a lot of more traditional stuff for him - Sinatra, Tony Bennett, some Christmas-y jazz stuff
His favorite?
Yup, he really like the JT album the most, he said...
So thanks - from me and Uncle Bill...

Aww, go ahead, Karl...you can always claim the soda made you do it like I do...
Yup, after my second Pepsi these days I'm one rootin' tootin' son of a gun...

To sound like a scrooge.
YUCK. I get so sick of X-mas music....
My lovely wife prefers Mirah Carey X-mas
I had to dig out Led Zep BBC sessions to offset the X-mas music....

Hey, Ebeneezer - there's always a chance you could undergo a Christmas conversion like old Mr Scrooge himself
Besides, it's gonna be different for you from this point out with that young lad waiting for Santy Claus every year...
Who knows, Dad could turn into a Cool Yule Dude...

RIJIMMY - Thanks, I'm gonna get the HC album for sure - I've always liked anything with that NOLA flavor
In fact, I was listening to 'Creole Christmas' when I saw your post - great album with Allen Toussaint, Dr John, Irma Thomas and Johnny Adams
If you don't have it, pick it up - it's in our holiday rotation around here...

I'm surprised Reba or Patti Loveless hasn't covered that one
Gotta listen to it a few more times so I can get the lyrics down, though...
