I know that there are so many fine versions of this World War 2 era classic, but I like this one best. There is something so honest and vulnerable about her voice.

Each Christmas I post this one by the kids up the road.

Sorry! Just had to do it.

That's okay, it's only going to be sunny and 62 degrees here in Vegas, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Heard this one this afternoon on SXM's Hair Nation:

 

[MSGRET]

Karen had one of the most beautiful voices I ever heard. Saw the Carpenters live at Purdue University, she brought the house down with both her drumming and her voice. Had such unique voice it was balanced, rich, warm, and powerful, she had a natural sounding voice that made you feel the music as she sang. To add to all that she was a very funny person and loved ribbing Richard during the performance.

Darlene Love on Letterman singing Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) always puts me in the mood.

 

[Hoops66]

Another classic:



Happy Holidays to all.

Jana Mashonee, an American Indian Christmas, in which each song is sung in a different Native American language. I bought this CD for a few friends of mine. I just looked on Amazon, and it's selling for eighty dollars. Glad I bought it when I did.

 

[Aluminny69]

Internet sensation, 14 year old Irish singer, Allie Sherlock, "busking" in downtown Dublin.

Celtic Woman

Here are Scottish fiddler Johnny Cunningham (RIP) and Irish singer/bodhran player Susan McKeown singing Auld Lang Syne to the original tune and the more familiar tune. God, I love her voice, deep and pure at the same time.

Johnny Cunningham recorded and toured with one of my absolute favorite singer/songwriters, the late Bill Morrissey. Fabulous fiddler, funny guy.
