From the organ to the accordion, I'm really mixing it up now. From Frankenmuth, Michigan, apparently home to polka lovers, this is
Marv Herzog-
Christmas Greetings From Frankenmuth Michigan-Weihnachts Grüsse Aus Frankenmuth Michigan (Herzog Records 3002, Stereo, 1981). One side features carols in English, then the other side features some of the same carols in German. Bronner's Christmas Decorations warrants a mention on the back of this one and they appear to
still be in business. Stop by and tell them Ernie sent you.
1. Silver Bells
2. O Come All Ye Faithful
3. White Christmas
4. Joy To The World
5. Away In The Manger
6. Silent Night
7. Leise Rieselt Der Schnee (How Softly The Snow Is Falling)
8. Ihr Kinderlein Kommet (O Children, Come One And All)
9. Süsser Die Glocken Nie Klingen (Sweeter The Bells Never Sounded)
10. O Du Frölige (Blessed And Joyous Christmas Time)
11. Herbei O Ihr Gläubchen (O Come All Ye Faithful)
12. Stille Nacht (Silent Night)

Hey, I've been in Frankenmuth. I've even been in Bronner's. Didn't encounter Marv Herzog, though.
ReplyDeleteKeep trying, you'll catch him one of these visits. This place is way outside of my usual circle of haunts. :)
DeleteSilent Night as a polka - just wow
ReplyDeleteIf Weird Al has taught us anything over the years, it's that any song can make a good polka!
Deletethank you Ernie for another Christmasrecord to put into my playlist. Something funny to hear German songs with American accent.
ReplyDeleteHa! Never thought of it that way. :)
