CHRISTMAS, WHAT ELSE? #1. Love this old album, which you can see I’ve been learning how to use a turntable on since before I should probably have been turned loose with the turntable. Note on the back the admonishment, “You don’t fool around with Christmas!” which they gleefully do. Highlight for me as a kid was “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers” which is insane: starts out as a nice little klezmer band of toy horns and then things start to happen. Accordions appear from out of nowhere, timpani boing, and then everything the choir does (about a minute in) is nightmarish, and I am so nostalgic and delighted. #vinyl #vinylcollection #xmasvinyl #christmasvinyl #ralphhunterchoir #paradeofthewoodensoldiers #ellipticalsoundtrack #treadmillsoundtrack #nowspinning #nowspinningonvinyl (at Noblesville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrMVH91nF-o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oielyc35adk3
