2020 Holiday music thread

Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas". Loved the movie also.

I'm sure that most folks are aware that this is the number 1 selling record of all time. It's estimated to have sold over 50 million since 1942. Thanks for posting it. (I believe it was first heard in the movie "Holiday Inn" and not White Christmas, which came later.)

A little Pat Benatar with Room Full Of Blues, last song on her True Love album / disc.


Without interruption were going to close out the hour with John Cougar who caught his mama with Santa.
A shame it looks like a covid crowd but actually a sound check video that sounds great!

Here is a song that I don't think many have heard. Hammer dulcimer Christmas music!

Great song by New Edition

Oh, hammered dulcimer Christmas music! Joemy Wilson has done at least three albums. Here's a beautiful tune from Japan:

And Robin Petrie has done a couple, although hers are mostly familiar tunes.

 

[Bigboote]

This one doesn't have any hammered dulcimer, but it does have viola da gamba, lute, cittern, and the incomparable Chris Norman on the flute.

 

[Ozimoto]

Fun fact. My wife went to high school with Chris Norman.

Here's one that is Christmasy but isn't exactly a Christmas song,

 

[Conndog]

From the Christmas movie "Remember the Night" (an overlooked classic with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck)

This version of "Sleigh Ride" is my favorite and never fails to get me in the Christmas mood.

 

[MSGRET]

Emily Linge is 12 years old who is pianist and has a great voice. Chiara Kilchling is under 20 years of age and has a wonderful voice and very good on the guitar. Enjoy and have a Safe Holiday season.

 

[Hoops66]

One of the most dynamic versions, I think.

 

[Centerstream]

Another oldie but goodie...

Here are Scottish fiddler Johnny Cunningham (RIP) and Irish singer/bodhran player Susan McKeown singing Auld Lang Syne to the original tune and the more familiar tune. God, I love her voice, deep and pure at the same time.
