Its tiem to get out the Christmas music if you haven't already.
My sister has sent me a couple of new ultimate Christmas albums that we are enjoying. Ultimate is up to 5 and 6 this year.
We always try to add some new ones every year. Sue needs to have actual singing in them for them to be successful. I am little more tolerant of instrumentals. When we were growing up the common radio format was to have an instrumental after each vocal. As you know if you have listened to the radio, this is not the current order of music now.
My latest Christmas acquisition is an oldie from the Tijuana Brass. Its pretty ironic since Herb Alpert, the leader of the band is jewish... but so is Neil Diamond and he is on every compliation of Christmas music out there.. And then there is Barbara Streisand... the list goes on.
The Tijuana Brass was a very favorite group of mine growing up. As a junior high trumpet player, TJB with its Toro lonely bull was the end all. All of us who were picking up the instrument strove for the tone that Herb Albert popularized in the middle 60s.
So on with the TJB and its Latin (what ever that means) instrumental Christmas album, with.. can you believe it? Winter Wonderland? Incredulous.. but then sometimes that is the taste.
Have a great Sunday
Pat

Have you checked out El Vez's Christmas album? I love Josh Groban's last year's album, "Noel"
He does an "Ave Maria" that will have tears dripping down your face. He's got such a voice!
Yep.. love El Vez.. I think that he is the reason that Ron subscribes to e-music. Joah G is pretty incredible too.. have him as well.
