i want snow for christmas....you listening santa?9:25am : We got the white stuff early here. I think it might be Judy Dyble singing on the Fairport track, Dale.9:27am : nice to see you scott.9:28am : howdy,annie.gettin snow for christmas,are ya?9:29am : ah, thanks brian.9:53am : I believe there exists an outtake of the Bonanza theme sung by the cast in which they collapse into helpless laughter.9:53am : hearing bonanza reminds me of the time I saw dan block eating lunch at the restaurant next to the ice skating rink at radio city music hall9:56am : scott, we already have snow.. ;) and i just heard that today is "hug a ginger" day..10:01am : we already got about 8" in ol'virginie10:12am : nice,david.i've never seen a white christmas.i know some of youse get snow all winter and it can be a pain in the ass after a while.
a white christmas would be nice,though.10:15am : Hi Bob - I'd be happy to take credit for the Bonanza arrangement, but it was Terry's idea. It's essentially a harmolodic version of the tune - the final version is 3 takes played simultaneously.
Great show as always - the Bostic & Hawkins sides were especially nice.10:15am : ok, i'm off!! groceries, etc.. bob, it's been a great show!! see you all later.. looks like the storm will head eat-north-east and we will get a smidgeon of the precip. we shall see! it's breaking up in penna..10:16am : scott, i'll read your message later.. toodle-oo!10:24am : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdelpcRm5zE10:33am : That's Mr. Ar-KAY-dee-uh10:34am : Scratch that.10:46am : Thanks for the Nina Bob. Always a good thing when I manage to hear your show (it's a little early here in California).
Dave M - if that M stands for Mandl - look forward to your Christmas day show that will be a nice gift to us all.10:55am : This is such a nice break from Christmas music.3:09pm : BB....what's up with PJ being on Swain records....thought for sure it would be on Cland4:58pm : Ah Red Nichols. Jazz - Delicious Hot, Disgusting Cold. You should play more old stuff. Also, another John Barry theme from 1960 that might tickle is "Never Let Go". V atmospheric.6:59pm : No, not Red Nichols. Obvs.
