Saint Louis!

Another entry in my series of Christmas around the US and the world, this one takes us to St. Louis, Missouri and features quite a few celebrities.  I would have gotten this up sooner, but I didn't think I had scanned the cover for some reason.  So I scanned and edited it today, then when I went to copy it into the completed folder, it was already there.  Doh!  But it's done now, and I can share it with you for Christmas Eve.  This is a good one, lots of songs and stories that you can listen to over and over. This is Christmas In Saint Louis-St. Louis Christmas Carols Association (St. Louis Christmas Carols Association TS77-558/559, Stereo, 1977). I see another Christmas In Saint Louis record here in the pile for next year.  Stay tuned.
