I do believe the Mistress was left behind from another time. I much prefer the old, peppier Christmas tunes over the new one these days...like The New Christy Minstrels, always a favorite.
LIVE! LIVE! Life is a banquet, and some sorry sons of bitches are starving!
It's even charming in this video to hear the old snap, crackle and pop of a vinyl recording!
ReplyDeleteI’ve posted your album cover photo over at The Hair Hall of Fame.
ReplyDeleteLast holiday season was the first time I heard this version of this song since second or third grade, close to around 40 years, till now again! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy family loved the Christy Minstrels, played it over and over while we were getting ready for Christmas. Great memories
ReplyDeleteMy Mom had the New Christy Minstrel's Christmas Album 40 years ago. I looked for years to find the album again for her, years before CDs came along. I always loved that album.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to put Christmas balls in my hair too! I loved this album.
ReplyDeleteIt's the happy jazzed version, with the echo reverb, all while still maintaining a classic arrangement! Love them.
ReplyDeleteI had this album when I was a kid! I loved it! i always wanted to put Christmas balls in my hair and wear earrings just like the girl on the cover.... I assume this is what the Mistress looks like ar your Christmas parties?, Oh what memories, another reason I love your blog so much. Always stirs up a memory of yesterday.
