A Big O?

I wasn't sure what to make of this album when I first found it.  Now that I've recorded it and I'm sharing it with you, I'm still not sure.  It seems to be a vanity project by Mr. Oldham, and it's best described as a piano album.  It's not bad, it's just...unexpected.  Give it a listen, you'll see. I couldn't find too much on the internet about this record except for an old share at FaLaLaLaLa, where you can find a little more info about the man.  This is R. Wayne Oldham-Have Yourself A Big "O" Christmas (Indigo Special Products ISP-0002, Stereo, 1983).  Enjoy!

    I think you should go around calling yourself the Big "E".

    Wayne Oldham was a well-known character around Nashville when I was growing up and a young man in the 70s. He owned a couple of restaurants called Ireland's, one on 21st Avenue near Vanderbilt University, and one at the long-vanished Harding Mall. Ireland's which had the best 'stake 'n' biskits' you ever ate. :) Everyone I knew considered them a real Nashville treat. He was also the main franchisee of Wendy's for a long time in and around Nashville. He was (nominally) a member of the Episcopal church my wife and I got married in. I recall him showing up for Christmas mass and taking communion without ever doffing his trademark bowler hat. I never saw him in church again, or anywhere else, for that matter. He passed away in 1992.
