What Christmas music are you playing?

[GA Russell]

Disc 3 (1967-1982)

-

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Tor Lundvall’s “Yule” might not fit most people’s definition of Christmas music, but it sure is a cool looking LP.

And the inner liner has some of his yuletide drawings...

This is the classic Charles Brown King album Sings Christmas Songs, with an additional four Bill Doggett Christmas tracks.

[Holy Ghost]

This set has been mentioned, and what a great modern Christmas classic:

This happened in the early 60's, but my mom recognized NKC straight away while he was taking a break at an Akron club, while enjoying dinner with my grandparents and recognized him straight away. My mom told me how nice he was when she went up to him and said "hi."

Granted, one of the prettiest pictures of a toolbox I've ever seen. Whoever was in charge of the lighting, nailed it. But wait, no ladders, backhoes, earthmovers, bull dozers, cherry pickers, foremen? Who's in charge here? I want to speak to the manager.

Considered a Christmas album in my home:

I saw Jane Monheit perform her Christmas show at Jimmy's in Portsmouth, NH last night. She did a nice job.

I finally broke down and bought the download of Joey D's Christmas release. Good stuff.

My daughter's favorite Christmas artist is playing now...

Her version of "Grown Up Christmas List" is probably the best one out there.

Next up is a long time favorite in our house - The Carpenters "Christmas Portrait - The Special Edition". I've never managed to find a copy of the early version of this CD released in Germany in 1985 with the music as originally released before Richard Carpenter re-mixed them.

Finally got around to decorating our tree, and as always, this was the go-to music for that activity, going back to my childhood:

Ha ... 2 out of 3 of your post will be lined up here too for Christmas Eve. They are what you might call "common ground" palatable to my better half and our son. 

Will also spin "Kenton's Christmas" to myself during the day, though.
