Hidden Buddy & Bunny
One more record to share with you before we leave the swingin' Gatlinburg world of Buddy & Bunny Burden. You won't see their names in the credits of this album, but it's them performing under the name Rockin' Organs. I don't think this is a unique version of the song Christmas Polka, but I couldn't help but include in our little survey today. Lots of other interesting names here as well, we might need to dig into this one a little deeper. This is A Christmas To Remember (Classic Christmas CCR 1944, Stereo). In true budget label fashion, this entire record was also stuffed into sleeves where it was titled 1st Annual Christmas Concert. On my copy at least, the vinyl labels were not updated and still called it by the old name. Whoops, sorry, look like I got that backwards. Maybe 1st Annual Christmas Concert came out first, since that's what the labels say, then it was retitled A Christmas To Remember later on. That makes a little more sense with the evidence at hand.

Organ music... Ernie, you are the sleuth of Christmas music, especially Organ. Thank you for all the work you do for us music lovers :)
ReplyDeleteWell, it's just rehashed music from elsewhere. And I don't think that's how the Jordanaires spell their name...
DeleteI'm impressed that you recognized those Rockin' Organs tracks for what they are, not to mention the two covers and titles for the same album.
DeleteDiscogs has been a huge help over the way we used to have to pick up and listen to every record. I wish I could take credit for all that. :)
