raloriaI love Christmas/Holiday music. Since we're now a month away from the big day, I thought I'd try something fun and new.
I'm going to try to post one or two seasonal/holiday songs a day. These will come from either my own CD collection or my online findings. I'll try my best to make a post each day and we'll see how many I can get done by Christmas day. These songs will run the gamut: from traditional to modern takes on old classics. There will be country, pop, jazz, oldies, big band, new age, comedy....anything and everything. And don't think that if you don't celebrate Christmas that there won't be anything for you. Not all of the offerings will be specific to Christmas. Some will be just about winter. They will all be favorites of mine and I'll give you some info. and why it's my fave with each song. Happy Listening!
Note: I'm using SendSpace for all of these downloads. Since I'm on dialup, it was just a logical choice to choose one host. If you have any trouble getting a song and would like me to use MegaUpload instead, just let me know and I'll try to get it up for you there.
I will also have each of these posts available to all for one week and then will Friends lock them.
I thought we'd start out kind of easy into the tunes on the first day. These aren't really Christmas songs, but more winter themed songs. Both of these songs are from CDs and I've listed the names of the albums below.
Sally's Song (From The Nightmare Before Christmas).mp3 -- by Michael Chertock from "Christmas At The Movies"
This is a nice, simple piano piece of the beautiful song from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Not exactly what one would consider a Holiday type of song, but it does work. It's pretty and magical and even a little haunting.
Winter Weather.mp3 -- by Benny Goodman & his Orch. from "Christmas On The Bandstand"
This is one of my favorite big band holiday songs. Nice and bouncy!
*** I'd love a comment if you're downloading any of the songs, thanks! ***
