Christmas In July '24-Day 31
Greetings, and welcome to the last day of Christmas in July for 2024! It's been a long slow trip to get to the end here, but I think it was worth the trouble. We've found some good Christmas music that I think you otherwise wouldn't be aware of and had a lot of fun doing it. As is the custom around here, the end of the month is when we celebrate New Year's Eve, so I've got a double handful of songs about the end of the year for you today. We start out with something a bit classical, veer off to some surprising late 80's music, a rerun for the kiddies, the inevitable Mrs. Mills, then we finish with a short song from one of that endless stream of JFK-related comedy records that didn't seem so funny after the assassination. You've got to love the variety of stuff around here. Enjoy!
1. Golden Age Singers-Dennis Nesbitt, Continuo-A New Year's Song (Locke-The Music Of Matthew Locke For Voices And Viols, 1973)
2. God's Little Monkeys-New Year's Honours (New Maps Of Hell, 1989)
3. Jerry Bock With Nancy, Debbie, Cathy, Ginnie, Robert, Gary, Seth, David And George-Happy Old Year (Songs About Animals, 1962)
4. Mrs. Mills With The Jubilee Singers Directed By Mike Sammes-Auld Lang Syne (Mrs Mills Jubilee Party, 1977)
5. Christopher Weeks-Auld Lang Syne Off (My Son, The President, 1962)

Thanks for the LP cover contributions! (Blogger put every single one of them in the Spam folder the next day, but I keep digging them out.)
DeleteOops! I didn't mean to give you MORE work!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it likes links in comments, and the more there are, the unhappier it gets. But I got it all taken care of, no worries. :)
DeleteHey Ernie: Is everything okay with you? Looking forward to your Christmas Music in 2024.
ReplyDeleteEverything here is fine and dandy like Christmas candy! Fun starts on the afternoon of Thanksgiving, or at least that's the plan. :)
