Day 13. And i'm a little confused.... Im sure Bowie didnt destroy the tree at the end ???

 

[littlespark]

When this album came out a couple years ago, I did think it was a cheap gimmick. A football commentator bringing out a Christmas album?
Really?

But watching his documentary tonight, speaking about his speech apraxia… such a sad story. A man now whose career is his voice rather than his feet.

Unbelievable, Jeff

Elton John, again.

Another of the big ones of the 70’s

“Are you asking me to … step in?”

Just heard today that not only is Ladbaby releasing another xmas song.... but its a rework of band aid.... Which might mean we wont get a 40th anniversary release.



so today is day 16. And here is Greg Lake without his Emerson or Palmer

Before todays offering, i have to fix the link from Day 1.... The original video i linked to was taken down... so this is alternative

 

[littlespark]

Now for todays.... And some might say this isn't really a Christmas song.... Santa, Elves, presents....
but it was in a Christmas movie..... Die Hard!

Die Hard isn't a christmas movie? Lets see....

Lone protagonist against a number of crooks, picks them off by setting a series of elaborate traps....

If Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie, then Home Alone isn't either... It's the same plot!

Just because I’ve changed my profile pic to my Christmas jumper featuring a Freddie snowman and the caption “ The Snow Must Go On”…..
Today is Queens Thank God It’s Christmas

Mondays.
Sorry, I’ve got a lot on and keep forgetting.

Tonight, the final of 9 (!) shows, concerts and charity church performances that have featured our youngest with her trombone.
This song was sung by one member of the village choir, and I hadn’t heard it before.
The original songwriter that also wrote The Elements… if you know that.

And for today.
The trombone star herself

Wednesday 21st. Winter Solstice
Should have had Ring Out Soltice Bells, but didn’t.

This song was Christmas number one on more than one occasion I believe. ‘75 and ‘91…. But this is a cover version by a group of artists who had a very successful Christmas film.

Nostalgia time!
