Last year, my dad bought a CD copy of Herb Alpert and the TJB's CHRISTMAS ALBUM. Among a few others, one of my favorites is their version of "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)". While Herb Alpert is certaintly not one the best singers in the world, this one's pretty good and I've often wondered with the many versions of the track out there, why won't radio play this one? When this album was out as an LP, did pop and/or easy listening stations ever play it or any of the other cuts?
This album is one of my favorites of the many Christmas CDs my family and I own, and we're going to play it this year. My dad purchased it from CD Universe on the Net and was at first, a bit unsure about buying it, but I said, "Yeah, why not?" My mom unfortunately doesn't care for it, but my dad and I love it.
I notice people have been talking about Christmas music on the radio. Same here in the cold northeast. I live in Connecticut, but I can pick up a station from Long Island, New York, 97.5 FM WALK and since Thanksgiving Day, they've been playing some of my favorites. CD 101.9 played Nat King Cole's version "The Christmas Song" yesterday, another fav of mine!
Happy Holidays to you all!
