Christmas comes in many colors.

• White Christmas--The Song Spinners (1942)
  One of the few versions that uses the verse. No instruments are used because the instrumentalists were on strike.

• Blue Christmas--Russ Morgan & His Orchestra (1949)

• Red Christmas--Carson Robison (1944)

• Green Christmas--Stan Freberg (1958)

Hi there, Kathy!

It’s my pleasure to do this small thing for our brave troops!

Thank YOU for all you do for the troops AND for us. And thanks for teaching me how to post tunes. LOL!

Holy Night (O Holy Night)--The Victor Salon Orchestra (1925)

[TigerHawk]

Maybe it’s because it’s the first version I ever heard, but I’m real partial to Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels cut of C.C. Rider. Hard to keep still while listening to it.

I’m off to the crypt...keep rockin’!

It did feel decent if you were out of the wind. I stepped out the back door and thought, “Oooo, nice.” Then I heard the wind and saw the trees waving and thought, “Not so nice.” Still a lot better than the 40s we had the past two days and will have tomorrow. I expect wind again tomorrow but it’ll be out of the north. It won’t feel good when I step out the back door.

I’d love to see y’all get some rain this weekend. Looking at the radar, prospects aren’t too good. :-(

SEVENTY YEARS OF CLASSICS--
Dooley Wilson~As Time Goes By

[Fiji Hill]

Christmas Time--Vera Lynn (1950)

[luvie]

I have memories with the Chuck Willis version, so I guess it’s my fave. Yours is good too! Nighty-night.

SEVENTY YEARS OF CLASSICS--
Elvis Presley~Don't Be Cruel

[TigerHawk]

Glad I saw this before I left. A true CLASSIC, as fresh today as the day it was filmed in Casablanca. A true timeless beauty.

THANKS!

Chubby Checker~Peppermint Twist

[luvie]

Yeah, your temp today is much better than highs of 40s. We’re withing only a couple of degrees of each other right now. Tomorrow, our high will be 55, whereas yours will be a bit higher. Not bad.

A C. C. (country circuit) rider was a Methodist minister with multiple congregations in his "charge" and who traveled among them by horseback. It could also refer to someone who slipped around.

My favorite version of the tune.

See See Rider Blues--Bea Booze (1943)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my, Fiji...what a beautiful rendition of Holy Night. Just close my eyes and listen. Thanks!

[luvie]

Eagles~New Kid In Town

[luvie]

What great information. I never knew that.

Her’s really is a “boozy” version. I can see the dark smoky room while I listen.

[luvie]

One more time?
