Wooohoo!! Thanks for reposting this. It's good stuff, kind of haunting.

My pleasure! Haunting...?

It's a good haunting sort of like a nostalgic feeling that I didn't even experience. I mean, if some guy hadn't loved his job at k mart and kept the tapes (they used to throw them away every period) we wouldn't have these. It's something that will never 'be' again.

Yes, I see what you mean.

Members of the London Philharmonia do a musical Christmas card each year. Here is the 2020 one, arranged for nine cellos. The cello is such a beautiful instrument.

I was listening to the Kmart music this afternoon while cleaning produce, and I was wondering about the song at 30:03. Obviously a Christmas song, but I've never heard it. Oddly, the first phrase is identical to "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." And then it kind of "restarts" at 31:00, this time combined with "It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas."

I'm also unfamiliar with the Hawaiian guitar one at 57:04. That guitar is reaaaaally Hawaiian.

I happen to be off on Christmas Eve for once, so I'll listen then! Such fun stuff.

[donnie]

Cool! Glad you're off.
