Day 3480 - "Peace Christmas Greetings" Album - 11.30.20

I picked up the Christmas record this past fall when I found those records for ten cents.  When I first saw the record I thought it might be some sort of metal record and based on the artwork.  Christmas record was the last thing on my mind.  It turns out it is a decent Christmas record, but I love the cover the most because it is so dark and not very Christmassy.  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3479 - Frank Sinatra's "All The Way" LP - 11.29.20

Yesterday I took all my Frank Sinatra records off the shelf (I have a lot) and I put them in Chronological order of release and then put them back on the shelf.  As I did that we listened to some Frank records, which was quite enjoyable.  Those old recordings on Capitol records sound great.  This record, though is one of my favorites.  My dad had an 8-track of this record and he played it in his car all the time.  A few months back I went looking for this record on the shelf and I couldn't find it.  I thought maybe I just had it on CD and gave up.  Then yesterday as I was going through each record, I found it again.  It was there all along, but I somehow kept looking over it.  That was part of the problem with the records being on the shelf in a very random order.  So now that I could easily find the record I played it this morning from start to finish.  It truly is one of the greatest Frank records.  There is not a single bad song on the album. It is a collection of singles and so every single on is a hit in my opinion.  No album fillers on this one.  This is something I saw today.

This was our Thanksgiving table.  We had my son and his wife over.  You can see how we set the table to be socially distance friendly as much as possible.  You can also see the weird world of our house where you have Thanksgiving on the table, Horror comics on the wall from Halloween and then in the background you can see a couple Christmas trees and other Christmas decorations.  We are still embracing all the holidays.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3474 - "A Charlie Brown Christmas" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio - 11.24.20
