CiJ 2025-Day 31-New Year's
.jpg)
Well, I'm back from the weekend in Atlanta and nearly forgot that I need to finish up the month here at the blog. I know that I've missed a few of the archive posts, and I hope to get to those eventually even though I don't think they're very popular. The highlight of the day is a version of Auld Lang Syne by an anonymous chorus with music by Hugo Winterhalter that I did not know about previously. It's from a movie featuring the parents of Princess Leia. How's that for a Star Wars connection? Unfortunately, neither of them feature on this track, but it's still a good find in my book. All but one of the tracks featured today are in celebration of the New Year. I had to throw in one more track from one of the same records I've featured what seems like 100 times before, just to get rid of yet another song. I think I've still got songs to share from those and the month is over, so you're assured of at least a couple more posts after this one if I can find the time to post them. Happy New Year to all and thanks for stopping by!

Nice selection today! I'm not familiar with the Winterhalter and Kaempfert pieces.
ReplyDeleteThe Winterhalter is certainly new, but I think I shared out the Kaempfert track before, though likely from a US release. This one is from Germany, I believe.
DeleteThe cover photo of Bert is the same one featured on the front cover of the US Kaempefert album Bert Kaempfert's Greatest Hits. Great to have Eddie and Debbie as the featured track today!
DeleteCan't be bothered to take a new picture, I guess. :(
DeleteThank you so much, for all your Christmas in July work... Ernie. Helped me get thru the busy hot month of July. See you in November :)
ReplyDeleteToo hot for my taste, even with the Christmas music, though I'd rather it be hot than cold. :)
DeleteDid that Jamestown High choir record a multi-disc album or what? You've posted a LOT of tracks from them!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a double album, if memory serves. One LP was Christmas so I wound up with a lot of tracks, but it technically fits the rules of the game for Christmas in July. :)
DeleteThank you friend.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure!
