WXMS In Cincinnati

You gotta love local Christmas releases. It may not be on a big label, it may not be any big names, it may not even be recorded all that well, but it's always got heart. Someone had an idea to make a record, and they got all the people and resources together to make it happen. This particular record from Cincinnati has been in my collection for a long time, but I've never listened to it. I think the pink cover, somewhat unique for a Christmas record, is what drew me to it. I finally made time to listen to it this year, and I wish I had done it sooner. There's great stuff on here! My favorite track is a version of Jingle Bells that makes me think it was arranged by Carl Stalling for an early Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies short. There's also a nice recitation of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas over top of White Christmas that's kind of interesting. I don't think there's a bad track here, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as much as I do. The lesson here is to never ignore a record, take some time to listen to it, you just might love it! This is Cincinnati Symphony Members With Mac Frampton-Sounds Of Christmas 71 AKA Christmas '71 (Artist's Recording No Number, Stereo, 1971). It's good stuff, enjoy!
