A share from the request lines, one that I hadn't thought of for a long time, so it got my attention. When I first posted this back in
2012, I didn't know who Abbe Lane was, but now that I do, I'm always on the lookout for her stuff. She was one of the wives of Xavier Cugat, performing vocals on a few of his 1950's albums, and she released a couple solo albums on RCA that are worth your time to track down. Unfortunately, her tracks is one of several that aren't exactly Christmas songs, but enjoyable nonetheless. There are lots of other names on here, from Danny & Marlo Thomas to Ed Ames & The Norman Luboff Choir. (Speaking of Luboff, I just reupped an
old share that I re-released last year that you might enjoy as a companion to this one.) So if you don't have it already, please download and enjoy
Cricket On The Hearth (RCA Victor LSO-1140, Stereo, 1967).

ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying all of your reshares! Some I'd missed the first time and some I'd completely forgotten about and am rediscovering - thanks for reminding me! Sorry I haven't been commenting - my job is killing me this year. I can't wait until Christmas is over so I can finally enjoy some Christmas music!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ernie! I just watched the cartoon with my daughter, and she'll love being able to listen to the songs again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this and the Luboff. Now to put television to work for me!
