Last, but not least, almost everyone has heard Chuck Berry's Run Rudolph Run, but did you know that Keith Richards did a cover of it?

My absolute favorite Christmas carol is Patapan.  I love it in any rendition, but the one by Mannheim Steamroller is on my road-trip playlist no matter what time of year I'm driving.

Regular Social Butterfly

Never Heard of it. Checked it out. It's good. Listened to Steamroller, and Julie Andrews.

Thanks for the tip.

Just reading this email and right now I'm listening to the CD Cool Yule by Bette Midler. It's great and I listen to it every holiday season!!

O Holy Night - Josh Groban

 

And his whole Christmas album, “Noel”

Regular Social Butterfly

Hard to answer. Most of my list, I can't identify (recorded them off the radio). And the one I want to find, I can't. It was on a Disney's Christmas album I had in the late 70s. It was by Larry Gross (not Larry Groce who also did Disney songs, or Henry Gross who did Shannon). That album was the best Xmas album I ever had. But, Disney put out so many different ones, it'll never be found again. I just can't find it.
