The Eighth Night

Well, looks like I'm going to make it!  It's the eighth night of Chanukah and here is my eighth share featuring a little bit of Chanukah music!  I hadn't planned to go all eight nights, but when you're hot, you're hot!  This record is a nice collection of tracks by local artists in the Sacramento, California area, something I was pretty excited to find.  I've been sharing Christmas albums from around the world for a while now, and this is part of a detour around the US for a week or so.  I kinda liked the little voice-over at the beginning of one of the Chanukah selections, explaining that all people and all holidays are being represented.  Sad to think they needed to explain, but good that they included everyone.  This cover is supposed to be a little more gold than it shows in the scan, but it's a hard color to get right.  Just try to imagine what it should look like instead of the way I put it out there if you're trying to find one.  This is Christmas In Sacramento Featuring Sacramento Christmas Choirs (Ikon Records for KGMS Radio No Number, Mono). Very eclectic collection of choral groups on here.  Church groups, company choirs, Air Force children! Wow! (Listen close for the ringing telephone in the room!)
