Amen, Brother

This is another record I found at the Largo bookstore I think I've mentioned before. I really need to get up there again, but they just have so many dollar records it takes forever to go through them and I hate making my wife wait while I dive through the crates. Maybe someday soon I can find time to make the journey alone. Anyhow, it's a neat little record that seems to have been released as a fundraiser for a diabetes research foundation, a cause that I can certainly get on board with (I've been type 1 diabetic for almost thirty years now. It's no fun). It's a bunch of piano medleys of Christmas tunes sorted by their country of origin. I enjoyed it and I'm sure you will, too. Give a listen to Brother Harold Lootens-Carol Nocturnes For A Peaceful Evening At Home (Sentry Custom Recording KM 2763, Stereo).
