Happy New year, but Christmas isn't over yet. Although it's that weird space where you know the end is coming, and you hold on a little tighter, but it's a losing effort and the tree is starting to cover the floor in needles - it's almost time to get the boxes up from the basement - but not yet. I figured getting two artists on one platter was reaching a little in terms of a marketing ploy, but I figured at least there was truth in advertising from the folks at RCA. I didn't have a lot of Eddie Arnold in my library other than a couple of his Christmas songs, which aren't on this collection so I'm coming in cold here so this will be journey of discovery. I love hearing new to me stuff. While Henry Mancini is a known name to me, I don't know him for his Christmas music. He's known for some beautiful classics, but to me the "Peter Gunn" is worth all the marbles, and the cherry on top isn't "Moon River" - it's the Pink Panth...
A place where I just blather on about shit that I either miss, or am excited about. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally really don't know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I do. Sometimes this is like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the video ... mostly though it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
