True Blue Sam's Christmas Festival!



True Blue Sam is really busy with work this week, so I am "Blogging Light" and re-posting Christmas records we recorded last year.  They are just as good as ever, and you can play them as many times as you wish without having to change the needle or wind up the phongraph.  The paper fold-out nativity scene resides in Bea's house, and we are pretty sure it is at least 100 years old.

It seems Charles Hilton had a heck of a set of pipes! It would have been great to have heard this as it might have been recorded with current technology.

The best I could do with the Brunswick was to give him a new needle. Many of the YouTubers have modern equipment and cleanup technology to make their records sound better, but I still enjoy winding up the phonograph and hearing the 1920's sound; or maybe I am too cheap to buy a new stereo.

Oh, I liked it as it here, too. It's just that about half way through the song, when he hits the high notes, the power of his voice becomes evident. I think he'd have made a career with it even in this day and age. I've been trying to find something on him on the internet, and haven't had much luck yet. Christmas greetings to you and yours!
