HOLIDAY 2016 MUSIC

Hey kids, it's that time of year again!

What are your ABSOLUTE musts?

What did you find LAST year that remains in your Holiday rotation?

1.) Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas. Can't live without this one. 

2.) A song, Paul Simon's "Waiting For Christmas Day."  Another can't live without that has a beautiful line toward the end,  "...and if I could tell my mom and dad the things we never had didn't matter we were always okay..."
Just gets me right in the holiday heart, ya know?

Health and prosperity to all - have at it!

Can Jew's play?

My new favorite is Mary Chapin Carpenter's absolutely fantastic "12 Songs of Christmas". I play it all year round.

My old favorite is the Mobile Fidelity LP of "A Jolly Christmas With Frank Sinatra" 

Now when we get to Chanukah music I've got the inside track for you. Well if I don't get deported first.

OK, I'm always there for you. One of my favorite Channukah albums is old:

The Klezmer Conservatory, "Oy Channukah".

and a new Channukah song:

Matisyahu, "Miracle (the Channukah Song"

And though it's not quite Channukah music per se:

"Cannonball Adderly's Fiddler on the Roof"

and African-American folk baritone and political activist Paul Robeson singing in Yiddish, "Zot Nit Keynmol"

A happy holiday to all!
