I have now made it thru two feet of Christmas music CDs since
December 1st. Listening to Dr. Elmo's Twisted Christmas CD now. It
contains a couple of follow ups to his & Patsys "Grandma Got Run Over
by a Reindeer".
It all started with "I want a Hippotamus for Christmas" by
Gayla Peevey as my first Christmas 45.

I might be compiling a Christmas music collection, if I have enough time to
get around to it. I'll describe my selections, and if anyone's interested,
let me know.
Another possibility is putting one together based on suggestions, here, which
would be kinda fun. I'd probably need to team up with a few people to make
it happen, though. If there's enough time and interest, let me know.

That sounds like fun. I'll contribute selections from my Jimmy Buffett
Christmas album if they would be welcome.

Who's the girl group that sings "Let It Snow" in the GAP commercial?

Luscious Jackson. Gatta remember that one. Every time someone
in our house sees that GAP commercial starting, they yell,
"It's on!" and we all come running.

Hey Tim, wanna go in on putting together an xmas album? Sounds like you've
got a lot of tunes. I can get ahold of a mixer...

I heard The Kinks' "Father Christmas, give us some money!" on the radio today,
and now it's stuck in my brain.

I like John Fahey's Christmas albums. The Alfred Deller Consort had
a wonderful album back in the 1950s which I think Vanguard has
rereleased now. For the *ultimate* 1950s Christmas experience, of
course, you need Jackie Gleason's "Merry Christmas" album.

Mark, I could probably help you with that. As it is, I got
4 90 minute tapes of Rock & Roll Christmast (with some Rock & Soul)
ranging from oldies artists to artists from 80's & 90's. I got
2 90 minute tape of Christmas Comedy. But then again I've been
lazy at updating those with selections from recent years CD purchases.

I heard a remake of 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' driving back to
Kennewick today. Same artist-- I forget her name. She sings it exactly the
way she used to, except she's lost much of that 'girly' sound (think Cindy
Lauper, Donna Lewis, etc.).

RE #63 Brenda Lee recorded "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" in 1960. BTW,
the song also appeared in the first "Home Alone" movie (in the scene with the
mock Christmas party and the Michael Jordan cutout figure as a guest).

Brenda Lee's version is the one I referred to in an earlier response as
being my favorite. I love that song, and the way she sings it.

What-- didn't Brenda Lee do the remake as well? Whoever it was sang it
exactly the same, save the few vocal quirks I mentioned.

Tim- cool. At the very least, it would be fun to have a holiday tune
listening session!

Think I'll make it to three feet of Christmas CDs listened
to since Thanksgiving by the time Dr. Demento comes on WIQB tonight
at 11pm.

It is really interesting to listen to The River out of Toledo right now. All
Christmas music all th time until Christmas. Lot of strange renditions of
some classics out there.

The River on 93.9? That's from Windsor, ON, Can. CIDR-FM.

Probably another station calling itself "The River", then, 'cause I don't
think CIDR's playing all-Christmas-music-all-the-time..

We would be lucky if CIDR played one Christmas Tune before
Christmas. Scrooge city over there.
<tpryan is hoping someone is ego-scanning the web for talk about them>
So, what the frequency, Kenneth for the Toledo River?

101.3 In toledo, I think.
Interesting note.
Kool 107.1 in A2 is an oldies station.
Kool 101.7 in Columbus is an oldies station.
