Sing Along

Odd concept here... Instead of people singing along to a normal piano, it's people singing along to a player piano! So does that make it the karaoke of it's day? I mean, canned music is canned music, right? Well, this does have the advantage of vocal arrangements by Mr. Dick Hyman, so that's a good thing.  But still, a player piano?  And to make it even odder, an instrument more closely associated with an earlier century was 'programmed' with a tune from just a few years earlier, The Chipmunk Song.  Bet you never thought you'd hear that coming from a player piano!  (It's questions like that that keep me up at night.)  So here, you go, please download The Piano Rolls And Voices-All Time Christmas Hits (RCA Victor LSP-4000 (Vocal Arrangements By Dick Hyman), Stereo, 1968).

1. Winter Wonderland
2. Silver Bells

5. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

  3. What an odd concept! I'm down for anything Mr Hyman put his name onto though, especially in the 60s, so I'll be checking this out.

    Thanks for another great season of shares, Ernie and I hope you have a great holiday. Still need an address for Mr Capote when you get a sec after the holidays too!

  4. Odd concept yes but a delightful difference from the tons of "same old" of other Christmas LPs. Please ... more if you can find any!

    Thanks for all your effort and may you and yours have a very Merry Christmas!
