....with one of my favorite groups this time of year, The New Christie Minstrels!!! Grab a few cock-a-tails and get ready for some soft shoe. How can one be sour with this upbeat sound? I'm also very inspired by that hair updo with balls! I also think Pam Demic is somewhere voguing to these songs.
I could kiss you. My all time favorite group at Christmas. Brings back such good memories.
ReplyDeleteI take kisses!
DeleteChristmas-y and then some!!
ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
I forgot about the song "Here we come caroling"
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
We knew that song as 'Here we come a-wassailing' [= house-to-house carol singing].
DeleteOne you don't often here anymore.
DeleteI think Pam should do a take on that fab hair-do. Love this stuff. It's a wonderful time of year... and the music just makes us all so happy. I feel guilty that I am not doing more this year... but then... what is there to do? Kizzes. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeletePam would love to do this....if she around next year......
DeleteOh I love the Minstrels!!!!! The old classics I'll take over newer holidays songs any day. The new songs or remakes are ok...but just don't have this nostalgic feel.Their harmonies
ReplyDeleteI remember this group from way back in the 1960s when they were a really big name, including being top billing at the London Palladium. Then they somehow faded from at least this country's [U.K.] consciousness. My memory of is of their singing happy-happy songs but don't ever recall their doing Xmas ones - most prob'ly 'cos it just wasn't the season. I see that after, of course, many transformations they are still around, still making merry. Good.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is it with them...i guess the memories...but their christmas songs I always loved. I don't know if their still around performing or not. These songs here were out when i was a wee one. Good for getting in a good mood.
DeleteMemories of the Andy Williams Show! (Were you born yet?)
ReplyDeleteYou'd love Serenade Radio [as I featured in a post earlier this month] - wall-to-wall Perry Como, Doris Day, Val Doonican, Ray Conniff, Rosie Clooney, Fifth Dimension, Nat King Cole, Swingle Singers, Petula Clark, and so on.
ReplyDeleteSpookily, I just clicked on the link, and guess what? New Christy Minstrels were playing!
Jx
Mention of Val Doonican grabbed my attention - a voice like a warm blanket.
DeleteYou will definitely love this station! Jx
DeleteOh yes....i would love that Jon. Ray Coniff Singers and Less Baxter were another two favorites of mine. And Val Doonican ......
DeleteGood old Les Baxter! Jx
DeleteI love the minstrels, too. They have a great sound. It’s something we grew up with.
ReplyDeleteLove that album cover!
ReplyDeleteAnd the sound is fantastic! I may have to go crate digging for some of these xmas classics. Deffo.
XOXO
I mother has three on vinyl....ill send them to you!
DeleteInspiration for your hair?
ReplyDeleteI am running not walking to purchase this gem.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the sound of them. How can one be in a bad mood listening to them.
DeleteWow...there's a blast from the past. Introduced on the Andy Williams Show if I remember correctly. All feel-good music, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a Christmas without them.
DeleteI wish I had balls in my hair.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Take a few off the tree...why not I say.
DeleteWell this is very jingly!!
