raloriaI'm going to try to post one or two several 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. 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.
Snow For Johnny -- By Burl Ives from "Have A Holly Jolly Christmas".
For those of you who live in an area of the world where you don't get snow, this song is for you. It's about a little boy in Louisiana who wishes for some snow for Christmas.
Mary's Little Boy Child -- By The Boston Pops from "Holiday Pops".
This is a very celebratory and uplifting song with a Caribbean flair.
Sleigh Ride -- By The Boston Pops from "Holiday Pops".
A fun rendition of Sleigh Ride as only the Boston Pops can do, with a full choir coming along for the ride.
Winter Wonderland -- By Johnny Mathis from "The Best Of Christmas, Volume 3".
You can almost feel the bitter chill of snowfall in this classic song by Johnny Mathis.
Victor Young Medley -- By Spike Jones & his Orch. from "Let's Sing A Song Of Christmas".
Spike Jones was known for his more irreverent and fun songs, but on his Christmas album he also included some lovely traditional and not so traditional songs. This is a fine example and is a wonderful medley that is both energetic and gentle. To me, this is like a living Christmas card, full of life and warm wishes.
*** I'd love a comment if you're downloading any of the songs, thanks! ***
