Band of the Red Hand Musical Advent Calendar

[Corki]

I forgot to get this started yesterday as I was relaxing after passing my first accountancy exam, but here we go - here is the first ever Musical Advent Calendar from the Band of the Red Hand!

 

Each day, between now and Christmas Eve, I'll be posting a musical treat for you. Some songs will be Christmasy, others will be just absolute classics that everyone loves. And to add to the surprise, all there will be is the link to youtube. So sit back and enjoy the surprises for each day!

:) well chosen!  and Yes I am old enough that I remember when I saw this on the original tv christmas special..and we all heard it for the first time!

[Corki]

Sadly, they don't make them like they used to. :(

[twinflower]

Nope..the closest is some of the country music folks..but I miss the variety and the costumes and the stars stepping out of the spotlight into a more personal and homey type of exposure.

[Auld Manriva]

Twin? Did you mean "homely" perchance?  ;D

 

Hey Boss! Can I post MY fave Xmas songs on here.....  ;D :o

[Corki]

Feel free to PM them over to me and I will see what I can do - they may even be on my list of songs I will play!

[twinflower]

*eyes manny*  No I meant homey!!  LOL  good call Corki!  I've heard some of his versions of Christmas songs..best to screen them first!

[Samuraiflip05]

That would be interesting I'm sure.  ;)

This is how I do my advent calendar - leave it for a few days so you can get a bumper bundle of chocolate! Here, it is Christmas songs!

Yeaaaaaah.. Boss. Twin probably has the right of it. Mine likely would not bear scrutiny. I'll just have to keep giving private lessons in Holiday Music appreciation to those close to me ;D...

 

Though you should likely put that Steeleye Span ~ Gaudete up here... Link to that is on yer Homer and Jethro Tull link. And the Hard Times of Old England ... OH! and the original promo version of All Around My Hat. ;)

*grins and pokes Manny*

 

Well done Corki!!  LOL  i must admit I hadn't heard most of these before!!  And really, Manny's aren't that bad...might push the PG13 rating if I remember right..but what else would you expect of a Pirate!?

 

I wonder how many people understand the reference to the chocolate?

[Corki]

I am grateful to my "The Best Christmas Album in the World...Ever!" CD that I acquired a few years back! ;)
