Christmas In July 2023-Part 5

Back to work today for all of us Americans after a short break to celebrate our independence from our British overlords. I'll be traveling to Britain for the first time at the end of next month and I'm a little excited about it. We'll only be there a couple of days before heading off to Italy and Switzerland, but I hope to pack a good visit into those days. Staying with an old friend I met just out of college, and believe me when I say that was a long time ago. But first I have to get through Christmas in July, and I've got another six tracks to help move that along today. I think the common thread holding together today's titles is that they call come from albums that had plenty of Christmas music to share. Whether it was a handful of tracks or a full side, each of these records helped bump up the number of tracks I have to share this month by a number greater than one.

1. The Vanguard Singers-Hey, Hey, Anybody Listening
2. All-City Choir-Susan Van Dyck, Chairman-Nancy Ferguson, Coordinator-Children Go Where I Send You
3. University Of Massachusetts Studio Concert Band, Conducted By Jeff Holmes-A Charlie Brown Christmas
4. The Ringing Belles-Rachael Kuivinen, Director-Angels We Have Heard On High
5. Iroquois Junior Public School Primary & Senior Choirs, Choir Director-Shirley Munroe-Gentle Donkey (From "Carol Cantata")
6. Jenson Publications-Symphonic Prelude On Adeste Fidelis

    1. I think my carry-on limits will keep me from bringing back too many records. :)

  2. Do enjoy the trip. Perhaps some scenic photos?

    1. Oh yeah, lots of photos. I never finished going through the photos from the last trip. I'm bad about that...

  3. Work? No thanks, I'm retired. Maybe you can ship any records over your carry-on limits.

    1. I wonder if I'll still be motivated to rip and share records when I'm retired, or will I just want to rest? We'll see.
      I really doubt I'll have time to go record shopping, especially any serious deep-dive crate digging. But we'll see. I know the little town we stay in Italy doesn't have any record shops. I couldn't even find a thrift store last time, but that could be a language issue. :)
