In the interest of sharing a little bit of everything with you this evening, here's an album featuring the Christmas saxophone. I don't think we've ever featured the sax around here before, so this certainly comes under the heading of different. This is
Reggie LaFaye-
Merry Christmas From Reggie (Rainbow R-2798-LPS, Stereo). Short but sweet. Tracks from this one have played a couple times while listening to the many songs I recorded this year, and I stopped whatever I was doing because I wanted to see who it was. Catching my attention is about the best recommendation I can give for an LP. Enjoy! (And of course it's autographed, but it's on the flipside. You'll see it after you download it.)
1. O Holy Night
2. Silent Night
3. O Little Town Of Bethlehem
4. The Christmas Song
5. Jingle Bells/We Wish You A Merry Christmas
6. Away In A Manger
7. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
8. White Christmas
9. O Come All Ye Faithful
MEGA
Almost forgot to mention, I've shared a couple other albums this season that were autographed, but I thought they fit better into other themes. Check out Adele Girard and Buddy Cole if you like that sort of thing. Not too sure about that Buddy Cole, but maybe it's legit.
Reggie looks sharp; the background does not.
ReplyDeleteDepth of field is your friend in portrait photography. But a bit distracting in this shot. :)
DeleteOk, can totally see why these tracks would make you stop. Unusual! The closest thing I've ever heard to this is the Jimmy Castor Bunch's version of The Christmas Song.
ReplyDelete...at least until he starts singing. Lol.
DeletePobody's nerfect.
DeleteHi Ernie, this is a fine addition to any playlist. I really enjoyed listening to it.
ReplyDeleteThis one has grown on me, I've come to appreciate it a bit more than when I first picked it up.
DeleteJust wanted to say this is one of my top albums here, along with the Eddie Blazonczyk's Versatones polka albums.
ReplyDeleteI grabbed it two Christmases ago, not really knowing what to expect, and this is my realtime reaction:
Okay, this Reggie one is definitely a saxamaphone Christmas.
Oh, it's not bad. He's got a different style.
OH NOW HE IS RIPPING IT
HE WAS HOLDING OUT ON US
REGGIE JUST SAXED ME UP
It was a good album, the cover doesn't do it justice.
You never know what you're going to get on these records until you put the needle in the groove. Thanks for following up on this old post, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment here.
