Hi AZ. Very cool Christmas present. Most are not familiar, so that's all to the better. Can't wait to enjoy them throughout the season and for many more yet to come. Wish I could return the favor. All best wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteIggymo
Very cool, thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely early Xmas present. Thank you. Len
ReplyDeleteMuch thanks for compiling and sharing your own collection of Christmas boots. I just love to hear Christmas songs done by artists I enjoy, especially when they are artists not usually associated with Christmas songs. Although I already have many, if not most of these gems, there are still several more I do not have or had not heard before. So, thanks again. P.S. I had intended to make a similar kind of collection for my own blog, but just haven't had the time to put it together. Now, I can just sit back and enjoy your collection.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have loads of Christmas CDs, didn't think I needed any more. This looks like must-have stuff. I take it you put this compilation together yourself.
ReplyDeleteYep. It was hours of work. But well worth it.
ReplyDeleteActually many of the songs came from one source. I then added several and put them in an order to have more acoustic music on CD one and then more rock on CD two. then added a little humor.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely laughed out loud when I heard "Oh Come All Ye Grateful" at the end of Disc One. Do you happen to know who is singing this and where/when it was recorded? Thanks! This is an awesome comp with some real treats on it. Feliz Navidad, Mr. Jones!
ReplyDeleteThe comedy bits were on a CD an old friend gave me years ago. I relly don't know much about it. But found it funny and thought it filled the space on the CDs well.
