Our own luvvinvinyl sent me two very cool LPs:

Louis Armstrong plays W.C. Handy on 180 gram vinyl

Henry Gray - Direct To Disc LP

Thanks Ernie.

My wife tried to find me locally Lyle Lovett ~ It's Not Big, It's Large, and it was sold out everywhere. She promised to pick it up in the next week or two.

How about the rest of you?

Enjoy, Jeff!

I got B.B. King - Live at the Regal. Great LP. Thanks, Jeff!

Got Raising Sand from Grumpy. Haven't spun it yet, but will soon.

SS sent me Dvorak - Slovenian Dances.

Linda got me Paul Potts - One Chance (the Britain's Got Talent winner) He sings with a great amount of heart, if lacking a touch of polish. Moving renditions.

Comp from fotno, Christmas tunes, a capella. A bit too twangy for Linda, but I love it.

Oh, and I have $120 in gift cards for amazon, so we'll be doing some shopping!


Lots of tunage here!

My 16 year old daughter got me two CDs.

A Fine Frenzy - One Cell in the Sea
Michael Bublé - self titled

I have never heard of these guys, neither has she. So far not to bad.

Yes, Ernie also sent me some excellent Jazz LP's, among them Mingus AH UM :music: . Thank You Sir!

JDaniel was also kind enough to provide some more mainstream releases, which have kept my stylus jumping :D ... including some Black Sabbath. Very nice, very much appreciated Jeff!

Wajobu slipped an excellent Steve Hackett CD into the mail, all acoustic, which my wife and I both appreciate - Thank You Walker!

Saxmeister dropped a bit of Tori Amos into my Christmas gifts - in the rush of the last few days this one has not yet made it into the player, but it will Mike, it will! :music:

...and the very bestest one of all... :D My wife tracked down a *sealed* copy of Snoopy's Christmas, for me to share with my daughter. :banana: We had heard it on the radio a few times, and I had dug out my copy of Snoopy and the Red Baron, but a very thorough search of my Mom's house did not reveal my old 45 of the Christmas version. :no: What a surprise when I opened that package!!

I got a couple of CDs from my wife, The Reminder by Feist and Tuesday Wonderland by E.S.T. An old friend gave me The Godfathers of Groove S/T second release plus three Streetwalkers' records, Chapman-Whitney Streetwalkers, Vicious but Fair, and Red Card. Another friend gave me about 80 cassettes, all sorts of music but mainly blues and jazz.

Also a couple of cards and cash that can be used on music.

Oh yes! Sealed copy of the album?

Christmas Bells, Those Christmas Bells, Ringing thru the land....

One of my favorite novelty Christmas songs...

I have a Royal Guardsmen album somewhere. They were a pretty good band. The album has a great cover of "Liberty Valance."

Curious, I was just listening to that on Sunday. My copy is a white label promo from the blue-label era, so pre-1955. I never even knew they had WLPs that long ago until I found it.

I is a great record. The sound on mine is fantastic, I only wish I had a good mono cartridge.

I hit the music lottery this year! Ken knew I wanted some good new tunes and he came through.

Jazz Crusaders: Pacific Jazz Quintet Studio Sessions - Mosaic Limited Edition box Set - 6 CDs

and the rest was vinyl

Blackjack David - Dave Alvin - Mofi double record
Time Out - Dave Brubeck Quartet - 200 gram classic
Bluesy Burrell - Kenny Burell with Coleman Hawkins - AcousTech 45 RPM

AND the gift that keeps on giving - a subscription to the new Blue Note reissue program from musicmattersjazz.com . The records are jazz classics which are being reissued on 45 RPM vinyl. I've got the first two:

The Big Beat - Art Blakey & the Jazz messengers - Blue Note 45 RPM
Speakin' My Piece - Horace Parlan - Blue Note 45 RPM

Fotno was sweet and sent me some Christmas tunes on CD.

It was a very Merry Christmas! :)
