Christmas In July 2018-Day 26

Hello, and welcome to Boxing Day in July!  I missed another day yesterday, sorry.  Had to run after work and shoot pictures at a big show, and didn't get home until after midnight.  I don't think the temps dropped below 90 until after 9, and never got down to 80.  Humidity had to be close to 100% the whole time.  I drank three liters of Gatorade and still felt rough.  But a little Christmas music should make me feel nice and cool, let's see what I can find in the bin!

1. Contraponto Bestiale Alla Mente by 1977 Chamber Singers-Robert Summer, Conductor, from the album University Of South Florida Chamber Singers And University Singers (Suncoast Recording Service KM 4471, Stereo, 1979).  I guess I did have more music from this one.  Can't be too much left...  Wait, are those animal noises? What's going on here?

2. Dance We All To Bethlehem by The Placentia Presbyterian Chancel Choir-Ruth White Miller, Director, from the LP Christmas Chimes 'N Other Times (Monarch Records DBP-226, Stereo, 1977).  Not as many chimes on this one as the name of the album might lead you to believe...

3. Greensleeves by De Wayne Fulton from his album An Evening With De Wayne Fulton, Harpist, Vol. 1 aka An Evening At The Warehouse (Safari Record SS-1001, Stereo).  I think this was a vanity label for Mr. Fulton.  He shows two or three other releases on it.

4. The Jesus Gift by First United Methodist Church, Cullman, Alabama-Sanctuary Choir, from A Celebration In Song (Prestige 80-157, Stereo, 1981).  Getting to the end of a lot of these full-side recordings here at the end of the month.  Finally, I hear some of you say...

5. Medley: Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer; Jolly Old St. Nicholas; Jingle Bells, a big beautiful medley by the amazing The Banjo Barons-Arranged And Conducted By Teo Macero And Marty Manning from the album The Banjo Barons Play Music For Happy Times (Columbia CS 8889, Stereo, 1963).  At least this selection features their namesake instrument instead of the organ.

6. Pink Ice by Music Minus One from For Drummers Only!-Jazz Band Music Minus One Drummer (Music Minus One MMO-4002, Stereo).  If it seems like the music is repetitive and dragging in parts, that because they left that space open for you to put in your own drum solo!

7-10. Some more selections from The Nutcracker Suite.

And that's it, ten more tracks for Boxing Day.  Hope you're enjoying them.  Keep cool out there!
