36-Ski Ride Polka
The holidays are over, but the fun continues. Today we're going skiing with a double handful of songs all about the winter sport that seems to involve a lot of falling down. At least that was my experience with it the one time I went out on the slopes. Never even got off the training hill. Some great songs here, augmented by a few tracks designed to warm you up after a long day on the hill. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteSay, didn't Bob Gibson do a whole ski-themed album?
Hey Buster, yes, Bob did release a full LP of this stuff. I have a mono copy but I don't think I've ever scored a stereo copy of it. Nice cover photo of him with a broken leg, but the dog is getting all the ski bunny affection.
DeleteThanks Ernie. Love this tune by The Tune Rockers more than the A-side. Mosquito's and I don't get along quite well ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt occurred to me later that Warm Up probably meant getting ready to perform, but I'm always thinking of Christmas-related titles so that's not how I interpreted it. :)
DeleteNice set Ernie! Like the Les Paul, and it was nice to mix in the warming songs. Agree the Tune Rockers track is excellent. If I ever tried skiing, I'd be more like super skier.

Talk skiing like a man, but never hit the slopes! That's a good motto to live by. :)
