Song Of The Day = Traditions Of Christmas.

[Rose Pink]

That was one I hadn't heard before. Thanks, Alan.

 

[AwayWeGo]

Fresh Aire Christmas.

That was one I hadn't heard before.

That's a Chip Davis tune. The prettiest version of it I've heard is on 1 of Chip's Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums.

The Song Of The Day version is a faithful simulation of the recorded Steamroller version, except that the Yamaha Clavinova used on the U-Tube video is not quite as rich-sounding as Chip Davis's Mannheim instrumentation. What the U-Tube video lacks in tone quality, however, it makes up in some extremely nice Christmas pictures.

BTW, my grandson (age 7) has been assisting with each day's Song Of The Day selection for the past week or so. He already has the tunes picked out for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day.

Well, thank him for me. He is doing a great job!

 

[AwayWeGo]

Credit Where Credit Is Due.

Well, thank him for me. He is doing a great job!

I will tell him that tomorrow morning.

In the U-Tube version of Traditions Of Christmas, his favorite part -- our favorite part -- comes where the video zooms back from an array of Christmas cards that, with distance, form a picture of Santa's face.

My favorite part is the two children snuggled up asleep under the Christmas tree.

By the way thanks to your grandson from another Tugger.

I was just saying to my dd the other day that I hadn't heard the hippo song this year. Thanks!

IMO, Karen Carpenter and Patsy Cline had the best overall female voices in the industry--to this day. Call me 'Crazy,' but that's the way I hear it.

 

[AwayWeGo]

Gone But Never Forgotten.

Karen Carpenter and Patsy Cline had the best overall female voices in the industry--to this day. Call me 'Crazy,' but that's the way I hear it.

There are -- & were -- so many fine singers with such wonderful voices that it's extremely difficult to pick out just 2 or 3 candidates for the all-time best. Fortunately, we don't have to choose. We can enjoy listening to all of them.

Even so, Karen & Patsy are still favorites of mine & I surely cannot dispute your assessment. However, I would have a tough time picking just 1 Karen Carpenter tune as either her best or my favorite. If forced to pick just 1, I suppose I'd go with Goodbye To Love.

She was a truly wonderful artist & an amazing talent. We can be grateful for the work she & her talented brother Richard did to bring so much of their music to us through professional recordings.

I agree with those two and would add Anne Murray to the list. I heard once that Elvis considered her the best female singer.

And then there's Linda Ronstadt.

Sorry, Alan, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I'm just going down memory lane tonight.

 

[AwayWeGo]

Hijack, You Jack, We All Jack.

And then there's Linda Ronstadt.

Shux, hijacking discussion topics is just 1 of the many endearing features of TUG-BBS.

Meanwhile, Linda Ronstadt & Anne Murray just make the point that there are so many brilliant singers out there that anybody will have trouble trying to pin down who's the best.

Song Of The Day = Batman.

-- Alan Cole, McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA.​

 

[MuranoJo]

Let me add Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins. Yeah! I loved Linda Ronstadt--her 'Heart Like a Wheel' was my absolute favorite.

Still, Karen and Patsy were the best.
Sorry, Alan, a minor detour--I should have started a new thread.

 

[AwayWeGo]

No Problem.

I should have started a new thread.

Not at all. A little commentary & discussion along the way just make it more fun.

Song Of The Day = What Are You Doing New Year's Eve ?

-- Alan Cole, McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA.​

Well, DH and I are going to a neighbor's party for an hour or so and then coming right back home and going to bed. We are not party people and find it difficult to stay up late just to watch the clock turn midnight. I don't know why someone decided the new year began on January 1st. Why not pick a more significant time like when the days start to get longer rather than shorter? Of course, that would depend on which hemisphere one is in. January 1st just seems so random.
