Christmas music, my parents console, LPs, memories and me...

Christmas Carols from the past:

Howdy folks!

It's that time of year--oh yes it is...

To this very day--I'm now 35--the only Christmas music that sounds like Christmas music to me are the artists/songs I listened to on my parents console when I was young.

Probably six or eight records stacked on the changer--maybe even more.

I remember, even as a small child, feeling sorry for that old record changer and the precarious number of LPs stacked on it...I guess it's safe to say my parents were not "audio enthusiasts.":thmbsp:

Anyway, it was Brenda Lee, Elvis--for me, it's not Christmas until I hear Elvis sing "Blue Christmas", Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, NKC, Merle Haggard? for God's sake???, among many other classic artists singing Christmas music, and for me it will always be the only Christmas music I enjoy.

Anyone else have a similar experience?..............Yes exactly,although I,ve got close to 30 yrs more Xmas experience,most of the artists you mentioned and a few others are what I recall bringing back those warm feelings again.I play mostly all these carols still today because in my own life they to me were the best and still are!Nat King Cole,Johnny Mathis,Perry Como,Andy Williams,Burl Ives,Jim Reeves and so on......Seasons Greetings to you all and to all a good night!:banana:

Best,

John

This record was probably the first Christmas LP I ever heard, bought new by my Dad in 1965 and played on my parents console, the only one I can remember, solid state maybe a magnavox, I still think that the pacing of side one of this LP is really hard to beat.

Nice thread! Thanks!

I now own this nice MONO copy which sounds fantastic!
