Return Of The Avon Lady

Someone requested the return of this old Avon share, so here it is.  It's been a long time since I've given it any thought, although it has been reshared more than once since it's debut here back in 2005.  I hope you enjoy it.  This is Avon Campaign 21 (Avon 10" 33 RPM, Mono, 1968).

Santa In The 70's

Here it is, Christmas Eve.  Seems like only a month ago I started sharing out Christmas record with you folks.  I've got a few more to go here, so don't think that this little party is over.  Far from it.  But I do need to go out and do a little shopping today.  Not that I'm one to procrastinate, but I've procrastinated.  I know fewer and fewer people are stopping by and downloading, but that's OK, I'm still at it for you hard-core Christmas folks who love this stuff as much as I do.  So here's a share you may find hard to love.  It's a handful of stories told by Santa Claus, but they aren't exactly up there with O Henry or Clement Moore.  Give 'em a listen and you'll see what I mean.  This is Christmastime Stories As Written By Marie White And Told By Santa Claus Featuring The Michelle Scott Singers (Chiodo/Scott DM-761, Stereo, 1976).

Body Spray?

I seem to be running dangerously low on new shares. I've still got plenty of stuff to go, I just need to work to get the scans mated up with the MP3s, then package them up into sharable ZIP files.  Good thing the weekend is fast approaching.  Thankfully, I'm not out yet.  This record is a nice little Christmas story about a kid who dreams big for Christmas.  I first heard the story as told by Bing Crosby, even recorded it one year to share, only to discover it's on CD.  So when I found this one, I was excited.  It looks to have once been paired with a book, but the book is long gone.  Other than that, I couldn't find much information about it at all on the internet.  Perhaps one of you will know something about it, if so, please leave me a comment.  For your downloading pleasure tonight, I present An Axe, An Apple And A Buckskin Jacket (Columbia Book & Record Library CC 24508, Stereo).

Nash Rambles

Here's a great rerun from 2008 that I've always been really excited about.  If you don't know who Ogden Nash is, think Dr. Seuss for the New York Times reader, something like that.  He's a wordsmith who isn't above making up his own words, but he's never going to use a five cent word when that's a 50 cent word that will fit.  And it all comes out quite funny in the end, or at least I think so.  You need to download this for his retelling of the Nutcracker story, but there's oh so much more that you'll enjoy.  If you don't already have it, please download and enjoy Ogden Nash-Christmas With Ogden Nash (Caedmon TC 1323, Stereo, 1970).
