Oodles of Doodles XLI-Christmas In July


After the relative disappointment with yesterday's Don Ho doodle, we have a nice surprise today. The gift box above is found on Christmas Greetings From The Town Pipers (High Fidelity Recordings R418, 1959). If you look closely, that fancy wrapping paper isn't just abstract doodling. I've found a Santa Claus, a reindeer, a Christmas tree, a snowflake, and a couple of areas that may be something but I can't figure out what it's supposed to be. Maybe it's just more decoration. I'm afraid I know next to nothing about the Town Pipers, other than what I read on the LP. It's three guys and a gal, they are from Scranton, PA, and this is their first recording. Odd that anyone would debut with a Christmas LP, but this was the 50's in America. There's a lot of info here about the HiFi label, but only a single entry in the discography about this release.
