The only Christmas song I like is Dr. John playing and singing Silent Night on Dr. John plays Mac Rebbenac, which is a great record, BTW. Solo piano and voice only.

roxy54, Each of those cubes hold about 90 records. A discogs search of the word "christmas" in my collection leaves 317 results, with not all of those records being actually in the database. It’s not a contest though, we just love Xmas music!!! Check this out! This is Jimmy McGriff's super rare Christmastime album. I have a copy, but the first few seconds of each side is unplayable due to a defect. https://mixlr.com/jasonc/showreel/jm-christmastime |
