Also lots Of London Boys Choir, etc. But the all instrumental stuff is best. Got a whole reel-to-reel of it--custom tape I made from several such alblums way back in 1971 on my trusty TEAC 6010-S. Great for Christmas Eve nighttime atmosphere. For Christmas Day lighter stuff like Manhatten Transfer, etc. I've got a custon CD of all New Orleans singers/bands that is also great--to include Louis Armstrong. Also novelty cassette tape of songs by local N.O. artist/band "Benny Grunch and the Bunch" that is COMPLETELY OUT OF HAND! "The 12 YAT's of Christmas" etc. LOL!!virgil xenophonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11491836830352263438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-18635841578182538382012-11-29T14:14:59.454-07:002012-11-29T14:14:59.454-07:00Yeah, we definitely share some DNA somewhere back ...Yeah, we definitely share some DNA somewhere back down the line.

There were one-story blow-up, internally lit Santas & snowmen, trees festooned with lights, and one of the gaudiest lit-up houses I've ever seen. I was awed at the time, less so today.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-29555951830156956152012-11-29T10:22:25.174-07:002012-11-29T10:22:25.174-07:00In re: the water bill.
