Also, because of the CD Jimmy knows (and sings) a few Hannauka songs and none of them are by Adam Sandler.<BR/><BR/>I always love any version of Carol of the Bells - especially the one by TSO (Christmas Eve in Sarajevo)Fun Guvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09318402465915199016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34773211.post-2578638144766034182007-12-19T18:18:00.000-05:002007-12-19T18:18:00.000-05:00We are big fans of all songs on the Ray Charles "T...We are big fans of all songs on the Ray Charles "The Spirit of Christmas" album. Well all except the Betty Carter track(really, she sounds like Miss Piggy! http://youtube.com/watch?v=G5Rbkcxiibw) <BR/><BR/>Along the same lines we were talking yesterday about how cool it must be to write a song that becomes a Christmas standard. The only example of new standards we could come up with is the Eagles "Bells will be ringings"Strangelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00438176910434900170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34773211.post-25453867459946314862007-12-19T17:02:00.000-05:002007-12-19T17:02:00.000-05:00Every holiday mix I've ever made has started with ...Every holiday mix I've ever made has started with Babs' version of "Jingle Bells?" I love almost anything by Johnny Mathis and Bing Crosby, and the Jerry Vale version of "Silver Bells" may be my favorite holiday version/tune of all time. Oh, and a recent addition was Bette's "Cool Yule."<BR/><BR/>NON-specific tunes that go WITH the holidays, I rather like "Skating" by Vince Guaraldi, and the entire Dean Martin "Winter Romance" CD.Animalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011608269211715910noreply@blogger.com
