raloriaJeez, folks...a whole week has gone by since I posted one of these. I'm sorry about that. Darned college finals! Because I missed a whole week, I'm gonna double up on the music this week and give you 4 songs per post!!!
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.
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas -- By Tony Bennett from "The Best of Christmas, Volume 3".
I don't think any other holiday can stir up more nostalgia than Christmas. This song is a nice mix of melancholy and sadness along with hopefulness.
Little Saint Nick -- By The Beach Boys from "The Best Of Christmas, Volume 2".
Now for a little fun with the Beach Boys as they describe a very California version of jolly old Saint Nicholas.
Yes, Virginia There Is A Santa Claus -- By Jose Ferrer from an unknown online source.
This isn't a song, but a wonderful piece of Christmas history. Check out these links to read the letter and learn more: Read the Letter at Newseum & On Wiki-pedia.
Jingle Bells -- By Roy Rogers from an unknown online source.
If you've seen the film "Sleepless In Seattle", this is the version of Jingle Bells that Meg Ryan's character hears on the radio and sings along with on her car ride to Christmas dinner. "Harses, harses, harses..."
*** I'd love a comment if you're downloading any of the songs, thanks! ***
