Christmas Eve Eve

Couple of days before the big day, are you ready? I know I am. Let's see what I can dig up for you. Did I share a religious record with you yesterday? I don't think I did. Here's another one to bring some balance to the force. And speaking of balance, how about a set of singing twins for you? Actually I'm not at all certain there are any actual twins on this record. There's no picture of them on the back sleeve, and wouldn't that be a big selling point? This is, allegedly, The Good Twins With The Jimmy Owens Orchestra-Wise Men Still Adore Him (Good Records GRS-2040, Stereo). I feel like we've seen this stock cover before, at least the bottom half, but I'm not sure if it was this season or some previous year. Anybody remember? I'm drawing a blank.

1. Do You Hear What I Hear
2. Wise Men Still Adore Him
3. Silver Bells
4. White Christmas
5. O Holy Night
6. Angels We Have Heard On High
7. What Child Is This
8. Silent Night
9. Christmas Joy Medley: Joy To The World; It Came Upon A Midnight Clear; Hark The Herald Angels Sing; O Little Town Of Bethlehem; O Come All Ye Faithful

    Also, are there Bad Twins, too? They probably didn't merit a Christmas LP. Maybe Halloween.

    I do know that photo was used on the front cover of the Christmas with the Tripp Family album, featuring LaVerne Tripp, who is on the Blue Ridge Quartet album you posted here a few days ago.

      Maybe, on the Good Record also, or distriubited by the same label?

      Just a stock covers, i think. Used all over the place.

    Both The Good Twins, and Jimmy Owens were popular in Religious circles, as SecondHandSongs.com says :)

    I like, I like, I like...
    Reminds me of my days in the Catholic School Youth Choir when we performed at the Saturday Folk Youth Mass. The reason I say performed is because we had a very large church, and even though we had a youthful audience of some teens to some parishers in their maybe 40s, I honestly do not think we ever had more than 50 in attendance, excluding us and the Father. Sometimes it felt we were performing, if our audience, hehee, did not participate in joining in some of songs.
    Oh, one thing that we did was, we sang a song before the collection plate/basket was passed around, and that song always included 2 tambourines. We use these as the collection plate/basket. This would never happen during any other type of Mass.

      I haven't been keeping track, what's your enjoyed/didn't enjoy ratio? Is it better than 50/50? I'd call that a win. :)

    I have not been keeping track either. While I think I only did not truly like one of the albums, those singing dogs, which I gave up on, the rest I fully listened too?
    So, I would say, maybe 2-3% were not favorites. As to favorites, I wound say, 20% or more? All the rest fell in the enjoyable range.
