Durstock (Not Durwood)

I'll go ahead and warn you right upfront here that this record is only half Christmas. The second side is non-seasonal hymns, but I'm including it for the sake of completeness because you aren't going to find this record anywhere else. I share a lot of things that are rare, but it's entirely possible that this is the only copy of this record in existence. Betty Jane appears to have either gone into a studio in Ohio to lay down these tracks, or she brought in a tape recorded elsewhere. The studio then cut the tracks onto a disc for her and as near as I can tell the story ends there. Except for the fact that I stumbled across this disc many years later and I recently recorded it for sharing here. Perhaps you internet sleuths can come up with more, and if you do, please share it with us. It's not the best music you've ever heard, but it's certainly heartfelt and unique. This is Betty Jane Durstock-Blest Christmas (Audiocraft Recording Co. Acetate, No Number, Mono).
