Akron-Canton!

Probably shouldn't have saved this one until this close to the end, but I forgot about it until recently.  It fits in quite nicely with the Christmas around the world and then the USA theme.  It's a local record from the Akron-Canton area of Ohio, with contributions from all sorts of area groups.  There's some good stuff on here.  I spent a little time researching that cover image because I couldn't figure out what the description in lower left was trying to tell me. Turns out Simon Perkins is the name of the guy who owned the house in the picture.  The artist is Cathy Welner.  If you look real close, you can see the same credits written in the snow about halfway up the image.  The house is supposed to be a local landmark, but the people I spoke to who were born and raised in the area didn't know anything about it.  So it goes.  Music here was put together by a local radio station and a local chain of super stores.  Since this is volume two, I'm going to have to track down volume one now.  Anybody got one laying around they want to send me?  This is Songs Of Christmas-Volume Two (Akron/Canton, Ohio) (WAKR/Acme, Clik, Y-Mart Stores No Number, Stereo, 1985).
