Kirsty Macoll sadly missed too

Hi cally ! Me too,still word perfect all these years later...my sister taught me it when i was five!

This one has been making the rounds on Facebook. Very nice harmonies. Accopella Little Drummer Boy which has always been one of my least favourite.

Oh i love Little Drummer ..it was one of the few records we had when i was a kid..but for some reason, i was terrified by it back then! Think it was the Beverley Sisters version hehehe! X

I think I grew to dislike it, CandiceMarie because we had to sing it over and over at school (public school too!) However, it's growing on me. This version, at least!

Enough to put anyone off! ;0) X glad its growing on you now!

I forgot to add this one..
A message of peace from Georgetastic Harrison ...

Here's something I just found on the NPR website: great fun, I thought

What a varied and wonderful collection amassed here! @Marybeth, it's one of my Lifetime Goals to someday be in the presence of a musical flash mob. Wonder how I'll manage that?

Oh, me too, @wendyjane!! I guess we just have to be lucky.

I loved seeing the band playing right next to the space capsule.

I'm not a big fan of Christmas music, but when it's played at a brisk tempo by a super brass band well....that's different!

We have our mad American friends to blame for this one. Perhaps @Betsysgr8 or @wendyjane could enlighten us on this one. I think is was an advertising campaign in the 1950's but I don't know what for.
