Music for Christmas at Home

Tonight's share is "Music for Christmas at Home" by The Somerset Strings.  This is one of those albums of pleasing Christmas music with a cool album cover.  Looks like there's Grandma, Mom, Dad, two of the young men in the family on Christmas leave from the military, a girlfriend (or maybe sister and her boyfriend), and the two young children.  A fireplace, presents, a Christmas tree, and an angel overlooking all from the treetop.  A great scene.



The music here is pretty good.  The record was a little rough, but I did the best I could to clean up the tracks.  Mostly old favorites here.  Nice notes on the back cover.

And, please notice the album that had to be a big hit for The Somerset Strings, advertised on the back cover: "Music for Washing and Ironing".  Oh, if I could only find that one at a thrift store...



For your listening pleasure, "Music for Christmas at Home"

  1. An oldie and a real goody, DB. I have an older copy somewhere, I appreciate this very much!

  2. Thanks Don Ho! Records like these are time machines, with the music, artwork, and text from years ago to take us back...

  4. Dec 21 - I updated the ZIP file with a new track 1 to clear up some extra noise.
