Westminster One

Longtime fans of the blog will remember that I'm a big fan of the old Westminster label, among many, many others. This year I've been lucky enough to find several records from that label that I haven't had before, and I'm gonna try to share them with you tonight. Well, that's sort of a misnomer, since I didn't just find this one this year, I actually found and recorded it last year, but I'm finding time to share it this year.  As you can tell from the cover, this is music played on handbells, that instrument made famous most recently in a commercial for Hershey's Kisses that I don't recall seeing this year, but maybe I've just missed it.  Anyhow, you'll know it when you hear it.  This is The Cathedral Bellringers Of The Cathedral Of St. Philip, Atlanta, Georgia-The Rev. Canon Frederick L. Eckel, Founder And Director-Cathedral Bellringers (Westminster WP 6059, Mono, 1958).
