Nat King Cole - simply the best

Though I will admit to certain stylistic limits. He may not be the best for a rendition of Frosty the Snowman. But then maybe...

Bing Crosby is Christmas.

My wife and I have started a new Sunday tradition.

We have made the show House Hunters into a drinking game. Drink every time someone says any of the following words/phrases:

Open concept
Space to entertain
Modern
Contemporary

Add the full "entertaining friends and family" and you've won yourself a trip to the ER. I think I've watched thousands on House Hunters and that phrase alone has dissuaded us from too much family interaction.

Nat King Cole - simply the best

Indeed.

But, do yourself a favor and listen to Blind Boys Of Alabama Christmas album and you might find yourself with damp eyes. They're darned good, too.

[OldPhiKap]

Bob Dylan's Christmas album ("Christmas in the Heart") is a thing.

Bing Crosby is Christmas.

It took me years to find a recording of his duet with David Bowie. One of my favorites.

I've seen them in concert but haven't thought about a Christmas album by them - I must shop.

My favorite Christmas CD is Good News by Kathy Mattea. Not a single "traditional" carol on it. I confess to listening to it anytime of year. Unfortunately, it was stuck in the CD player of the car I traded in. I need to replace it.

I have a lot of stuff from back in the day when Napster, Grokster, WinMX, etc. were things. Mainly stuff that was unobtainable commercially like live concert stuff. The Bowie-Crosby Little Drummer Boy was one of those items...

The video is on YouTube. As is a version of the same song by Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly.

Nat King Cole - simply the best

And the way he sings "Mona Lisa" makes me love my own name.

[YmoBeThere]

Well, nothing like shooting first and getting details later.

[weezie]

Then again, nothing like sticking your hand into a jacket pocket and finding $23!

Preferably your own pocket, though.

Key word, “preferably.”

I mean, don't post needlessly to get to a prime. Certainly don't waste a prime.

Jacket pocket Jackpot!

Perhaps Durham bail?
What exactly have you been up to in your spare time, 94duke?

LOL!! Apparently more than I remember.

Indeed, very significant. (I didn't notice. Thanks for pointing it out.)
