FaLaLaLaLa

I’m definitely behind the curve. I just found out that the great singer Jo Stafford passed away last month.

She put out a bunch of great Christmas songs that will make her immortal in the minds of folks at FaLaLaLaLa.

There have been a number of noted passings in the Christmas music world. We may have to do a tribute this December.

Okay, it’s not Christmas. It’s not Christmas-in-July, Christmas-and-a-Half, Orthodox Christmas or any sort of solstice. But Yestermusic is having a sale on selected Christmas CD’s and DVD’s.

One disc I heartily recommend is Christmas Magic by Fred Waring & the Pennsylvanians. This two disc set includes the following two albums:

I wrote about this last year when I saw copies going for $100 on Ebay. Then it was $19.95. Now it’s only $16.95! So if you don’t have this in your collection (or want to replace your worn out vinyl), I encourage you to check out Yestermusic.

The sale only runs until August 17th.
