Saint Louis!

Another entry in my series of Christmas around the US and the world, this one takes us to St. Louis, Missouri and features quite a few celebrities.  I would have gotten this up sooner, but I didn't think I had scanned the cover for some reason.  So I scanned and edited it today, then when I went to copy it into the completed folder, it was already there.  Doh!  But it's done now, and I can share it with you for Christmas Eve.  This is a good one, lots of songs and stories that you can listen to over and over. This is Christmas In Saint Louis-St. Louis Christmas Carols Association (St. Louis Christmas Carols Association TS77-558/559, Stereo, 1977). I see another Christmas In Saint Louis record here in the pile for next year.  Stay tuned.

    Thank you so much Ernie for all of these great vintage Christmas albums! If it wasn't for you and Lee and Buster, I wouldn't get anything for Christmas. You always make my Christmas merry and bright! God bless you, and Merry Christmas!

    Well Ernie, once I read Mary Wickes was on it, I had to listen to it. I have seen her in some old films and TV shows.
    That being said, once I heard this track, Emil Wachter With Fred Ahrens, Elmer Drehman And George Frangoulis-Scrooge From A Christmas Carol, I needed a drink, a stiff one, even though I do not drink.
    I am just glad to have been sober enough to listen to all the other good stuff, including Mary Wickes, that came after that track.

      I think a couple of football players show up here as well. It's an interesting collection. :)

    Very interesting, with that one exception.
    But...but I will add, Emil Wachter With Fred Ahrens, Elmer Drehman And George Frangoulis-Scrooge From A Christmas Carol, to my Scooge-A Christmas Carol folder. That way, it can join that horrible High School production that was released, I think, on a Kids Stuff album.
    I mean, I cannot have just winners in a folder can I..."can I?"...

      If I have to archive them all, perhaps you should as well...
