Raise A Glass To Christmas

I had forgotten about this record until a song from it happened to play at random a couple days ago, so I went and finished it up real quick and I'm throwing it up tonight for you. I can remember watching an episode of either Real People or That's Incredible as a child, and they had somebody come on and play the glasses. It was a large selection of glasses, each with a different amount of water in it. They'd wet their fingers and slowly stroke the rim of the glass until it would resonate and make a high-pitched noise. They were able to do it fast enough to make a song out of the noise. You adjusted the pitch by changing the level of water in the glass. I remember Mom & Dad pulling some fancy glasses out of the cupboard so we could try it ourselves. It wasn't a pretty sound like the guy on TV, but we made some noise. Anyhow, this album features music from someone who really knows how to make those glasses sing.
