A CHRISTMAS RE-SHARE (I Thought I'd Bump This Up)

ON DECEMBER 23, 1954 CBS AIRED A LIVE SHOWING OF CHARLES DICKENS' "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" STARRING FREDRIC MARCH AS SCROOGE/BASIL RATHBONE AS MARLEY'S GHOST/MUSIC BY BERNARD HERRMANN/SINGING BY ROGER WAGNER CHORALE. THIS RECORDING WAS TAKEN FROM THE DVD OF THE KINEOSCOPE OF THAT AIRING. THE SOUND QUALITY IS NOT THE BEST, BUT YOU WILL NEVER HEAR THIS PERFORMANCE ANYWHERE ELSE AGAIN I'M SURE. ENJOY!!!

"A CHRISTMAS CAROL" STARRING BASIL RATHBONE AS SCROOGE & FREDRIC MARCH AS THE NARRATOR. SHOWN IN DECEMBER OF 1959:







"A Christmas Carol" Starring Basil Rathbone As Scrooge Zip File

There is also an LP Of "A Christmas Carol" with Basil Rathbone as Scrooge, and the Lyn Murray Singers that I have not been able to acquire. Here's are examples of the front covers from 2 different releases of the LP:





I've heard these LPs are desireable because of the Christmas Carols the Lyn Murray Singers perform that are included at the end of side #2 of the LPs.


Kiddie Records Weekly has shared the older 78rpm version of this record HERE. It is basically the same recording as the 33rpm 12 Inch LP Version without the Christmas carols that are on the LP B-Side.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

Well here it is Christmas Eve 2009. As we approach the big Day I just want to say how much this time of year makes me realize how much I miss my parents. They're spending Christmas together this year in Eternity. My Dad just died last September, and my Mom died Thanksgiving weekend of 2004. They'll have plenty of company with all 4 of their Parents, my Aunt Ila and her husband Bob Lees, and as of 2 days ago my Aunt Carol who was my Mom's Brother David's wife. Oh yes and also my oldest cousin Steve who died in 1998 from his lifelong struggle with CF, and his youngest nephew Donnie who was killed 2 years ago in Iraq.

We don't have our big 60 person Christmas Day gatherings any longer. However as time goes by those who have passed will start up the tradition all over again up there. We miss you all, but we know you are all in a much better place now! Love you Mom and Dad and everyone!!! Happy Christmas Eve!!!

Bing Crosby "The Small One/Orson Welles "The Happy Prince"

TWINKLER BRAND SPINNER ORNAMENTS

I think I had posted earlier that I had inherited 5 Spinner Ornaments from my Paternal Grandmother. I recently found an entire box full of 12 of the red spinner ornaments, and I paid a small fortune to win it. I wanted them mainly for the box since I'd never seen one in person before. So now I have an original box to store 12 of the 17 spinners in after Christmas. I'm doing well this year in the way of original Christmas Decoration boxes. I already posted a couple months ago about the Alpine Village Box set THAT I found online.

As for the spinners I am keeping 12 in the box, and the other 5 I have already sold on ebay. I made enough from those 5 to pay for half the price of the box of 12. Here's a couple of photos of the Spinners:

LOTS OF MISSING/DELETED FILES!

I'VE HAD TO SHUT DOWN COMMENTS ON THIS BLOG FOR NOW BECAUSE THE TROLL'S MOMMY TAUGHT HIM HOW TO CUT AND PASTE COMMENTS.

I'VE DISCOVERED THIS WEEK THAT MEGAUPLOAD HAS DELETED DOZENS OF MY MUSIC FILES IN ALL OF MY BLOGS. I GUESS THEY ARE TIRED OF COLLECTING MY PREMIUM ACCOUNT FEES ANY LONGER, AND WOULD LIKE ME TO MOVE ON. I HOPE TO HAVE THEM RE-SHARED AGAIN SOON, BUT RIGHT NOW MY TIME IS BEING TAKEN UP TRYING TO RECOVER FILES FROM THE PC VIRUS SENDING IDIOT THAT WIPED OUT MY OPERATING SYSTEM A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO RE-INSTALL WINDOWS XP. WE WEREN'T ABLE TO EVEN GET BACK IN UNDER "SAFE MODE" SO I LOST ABOUT 72GB WORTH OF MUSIC, IMAGE AND SOFTWARE FILES MUCH OF WHICH ARE IRREPLACEABLE. BEAR WITH ME AS I TRY TO GET THE DEAD LINKS FIXED.
BTW - I GOT THE REALLY BAD VIRUS A FEW WEEKS AGO FROM TRYING TO DO AN UPDATE TO REALPLAYER 9. I JUST I'D LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT.
