Welcome To Texas

I think we'll be in the Dallas airport when this post goes live. We've got a really tight connection for our next flight to Santa Fe. Wish us luck because there's not another flight for us to catch until tomorrow and I don't want to be stuck in Dallas overnight. While we're running from Dallas to Fort Worth, this is The 50 Guitars-Christmas With The 50 Guitars (Holiday/Phoenix HDY-1907, Stereo, 1980), another of the many guitar-centric albums I've shared with you this season. In fact, it may even be the same as another guitar-centric album I've shared already, I didn't check. Shame on me.

1. White Christmas
2. Jingle Bell Rock
3. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
4. The First Noel
5. Silent Night
6. The Christmas Song
7. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
8. Oh Holy Night
9. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

    It's amazing how none of those guitars go flying out of the sled....then again, there are quite a few less than 50 pictured...

      I also didn't know there were "50 Guitars" records not helmed by Tommy "Snuff" Garrett.

      They started out with 50. And it's a deliberately misleading title. :(

      Nope, we missed it. Just now arriving three hours late. But we're here, that's all that matters.

      Recently had an experience like that, via bus. Originally, got to Louisville, to see my bus pull out, which didn't even stop BTW (reckon because I wasn't there to check in), subsequently arrived way too late in Atlanta to make my original connection, so got stuck there for like nine hours. I got to my final destination almost twelve hours later than I wanted. The day wasn't totally wasted though. The LORD allowed me to meet/talk with folk I wouldn't have gotten to, otherwise, so He had a purpose in it all. Glad y'all are there, safe and sound, love and praying for y'all.

      I would have been pretty miserable if I'd had to wait that long. Plenty of other things went wrong today as well, but I won't bore you with the gory details. Suffice it to say it was a rough day.

    To the record at hand: The record company spent so much money on the last two non-seasonal 50 Guitars albums at Musicor. When they put together this album, they used the instrumental backing tracks from Bobby Helms' Little Darlin' Jingle Bell Rock album (which Mistletoe reissued in the '70's and Holiday in the early-'80's) and the Midnight String Quartet's Christmas Rhapsodies for Young Lovers albums and had the guitarists overdub their parts to these pre-recorded tracks. Budget label operations at their finest!

      I learn too much stuff each season to be able to remember it the next... :(
