Here's a remaster of a good organ record I brought to you way back in
2008 that I figured I'd bring you today. I know not all of you are fans of the big organ, but it's well after Christmas at this point and I don't have a lot of stuff left in my sack.
Larry Ferrari was a TV institution in Philly for many, many years, playing that organ every chance he got. During that time, I know of two Christmas records he made, and a whole bunch of non-Christmas stuff that's not nearly so interesting. For the curious, this is
Larry Ferrari-
I Wish You The Merriest (Sure Music Volume 703, Mono).
1. We Need A Little Christmas
2. Sleigh Ride
3. Medley-It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! and Reprise: It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
4. Silver Bells
5. You're All I Want For Christmas
6. Medley-Christmas Bells, I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day and Reprise: Christmas Bells
7. Winter Wonderland
8. Little Drummer Boy
9. We Wish You The Merriest
10. Medley-There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays and I'll Be Home For Christmas
11. White Christmas
12. Medley-Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town, Jingle Bells and Frosty The Snowman
13. The Christmas Song
14. Blue Christmas
MEGAFor the curious among you, here's part of a Christmas album recorded by Larry one year before the one shown above, and this one's in stereo. However, one of the tracks just would not cooperate, and I couldn't get a decent file out of it no matter what I tried. So it's only a partial share, sort of a place holder until I get a better copy. And it's taken an awful long time to find this one, so don't hold your breath. The one up top was something I shared in 2008, and I've not seen another copy since that time, so his records don't show up here in Florida very much. I was in Philadelphia for a day earlier this year but didn't have any time to visit a Goodwill store between the Liberty Bell and the museums, so I don't know if perhaps they're more common up there. Maybe next year... Anyhow, here is a partial copy of
Larry Ferrari-
