And that's it. I'm too tired to write smarmy comments about all the shares today. Feel free to make stuff up yourself and post it in the comments. Here's the download link. Thanks for stopping by.
hank garland’s “greensleeves” is not his only christmas effort. the prominent guitar on bobby helm’s “jingle bell rock” and brenda lee’s “rockin around the christmas tree”, that’s hank garland. a car accident in 1961 ended his musical career.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who I thought that was, but that's not who I thought that was. You appear to be correct though. Funny how he wound up on two of the biggest Christmas hits in history!
ReplyDeleteThis share included a few tracks that I really quite enjoyed including Greensleeves (love the pace of this one considering Garland's other more rock-like contributions to Christmas music (thanks for that info barba); Hot Toddy (what a great title and such a lovely track); Joyful Sounds of Christmas (this was a wonderful medley!) and Moonlight in Vermont (can't go wrong with Percy Faith!!). Thanks again for sharing these with us.
