More Richard

I almost forgot about this one, but thankfully I remembered it in time to get it up right after that last Richard Ellsasser I posted a minute ago. (And there is another Ellsasser Christmas record out there, but I don't have it.  I'll stumble across it, don't you worry.  Someday...)  This one is a seasonal effort, a series of tunes written by Michael Carr, something I first shared with you in 2008, remastered in 2012, and re-encoded for you tonight.  To be honest, the song titles are the best part of this album, the rest of it is just organ music like you've heard a hundred times before from me this year, only on songs you aren't familiar with, so that makes it a tough listen.  But if you're up for it, this is Richard Ellsasser-Michael Carr's Wintertime Suite (MGM E3284 (Richard Ellsasser Playing The Organ of the John Hays Hammond, Jr. Museum, Gloucester, Massachusetts), Mono, 1955).
