Christmas In July 2020-Redux
Time for a rather unnecessary redo of a share from not that long ago. On this best-of from the 2020 season, I only updated one track to stereo, and I believe I corrected a typo in an artist's name. So if you're going to skip out on any of my re-do's this month, this would be the one to skip. But I hope you won't because it's a good collection and a nice cover with a shot from a visit to NYC a few years ago near Christmas.

Another striking cover, from my favorite spot in NYC.
ReplyDeleteHow did Liv Ullmann and Rock Hudson come to record "Baby It's Cold Outside," do you suppose? They're an unlikely duo.
It's a sweet spot, but almost always pretty crowded. I think I was lucky to get this shot without too many people between me and my subject.
ReplyDeleteThe Rock Hudson was a souvenir record for some cruise ship company out of Scandinavia, I think. I remember looking up Liv Ullmann at the time because the name didn't mean anything to me, but I still don't know who she was.

This cover has always been a favorite, and the music selection is great, too!
