I've been slacking in my hopes of posting a 7" record for you every day, so I'm trying to get back on track with that tonight. This time, I've got a great little EP from The Mulcays, a harmonica group who made the Christmas music that The Harmonicats never did. Sometimes it leans a little Hawaiian, too, so imagine if The Harmonicats had made a Christmas single on Maui, and that's pretty close to what you get here. I shared one of these tracks a
long time ago, but from a two track single (this one has four). Turns out this package was designed to be given as a sort of musical Christmas card, before they had microchips to make such a thing happen. You'll see a scan in the download of the card opened up, with a little pocket to tuck the record in. I would have been very happy to have gotten this as a card back in the early fifties. (Of course, I was still years away from being born, but stranger things have happened.) Please download and enjoy

Interesting coincidence, Ernie. You posted this just a day after I posted the same music, same Card-n-Song, except mine was a 78rpm 10-inch version. My record may have never left Kansas City, while yours must have made a longer journey.
