Christmas with Dino
| I’m a Christmas song lady. I love Christmas music, but I don’t’ like that traditional junk, full of choirs and hymns. No sir, I like a nice swanky Christmas. I like Christmas music that makes you think highballs and highheels.
On Thanksgiving, I usually pull out some old Christmas compilation I put together and rock out with my cooking. This year, I’m gonna buy some cds instead. So I was perusing Amazon.com to see what they had up my alley in the Christmas department; I figure I’ll sample the songs, then go buy the cds tonight. I was thinking Harry Connick Jr., the New Orleans sultry voiced stud muffin. I love a some good blues, and jazz and big band is appealing. While I was sampling some of his cds, I viewed some ‘Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought’ selections. WHAT? Christmas with the Rat Pack? Martinis and Mistletoe? I have become very excited for holiday music now that I have a little Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Frank Sinatra to round out my Harry Connick Jr. I could even do a little Diana Krall, although she’s fresh on the market (to me). Ultra Lounge?!!? I like lounge music! I’ve got visions of turning on the (fake) fireplace, lighting some cinnamon candles, putting on some strappy shoes, grabbing a cocktail and swaying my hips as I prepare Thanksgiving. OMG, Nat King Cole! I love Nat. Just how many Christmas cds do I think I should get? This is my line up.  I'm most excited about Dean. But, I think it's my Soprano's love that is causing that excitement. Anyone remember when they blasted Dean Martin from the yacht 'cause that lawyer wouldn't let him out of the purchase agreement for the vacation house? Good times. |
I have Christmas with the Rat Pack....i HIGHLY recommend that. My parents also have a CD of just Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby...like a bunch of christmas radio shows they did circa WWII. I don't know what it's called or if it's still available, but it's fantasmigorical.
P.S. Diana Krall's regular stuff is great. Did you know she's married to Elvis Costello? |
Crazy. Okay, based on your recommendation, I'm sticking with the Rat Pack Christmas and looking into more Frank Sinatra/Bing Crosby stuff. This is going to be the best musical Thanksgiving EVAR! |
I've not gone and purchased the Christmas with the Rat Pack also, download Slim Santa, heard it this weekend, hilarious |
