Radio And TV
Time for another edition of The Upper Room Radio-TV Parish Christmas radio show, this time from 1957. Well, I say it's from 1957. That date is based on the RCA pressing code found on the discs, but...

This is the third and last of the radio shows I have from The Upper Room. It's only two records instead of the usual three, and it may be the best one yet. This one actually features a mother and her...

This one goes into the category of things I only recently found out about, and then almost by accident, a copy turned up. It was only last year that I discovered there was a Christmas EP by P.J....

Well, that last post got a little bit of response, I guess there are still a few folks out there who still have some Christmas spirit. The cover of this single should help keep that spirit alive for a...

Today's contribution is a beautiful green 7" of organ music from one Bob Ward. Discogs tell me that the record is also available on red vinyl, so a collectors work is never done. There are six songs...

Continuing on with 7" EPs that came from that same Goodwill store in Bradenton, FL (though on different visits), tonight I have this great freebie that came from RCA Victor when you bought a gift...

The share tonight is sort of a remaster, but sort of not. I shared out one side of this record many years ago, back in 2007, as part of a compilation I used to put together called 26 Days Of Christmas....

I found another full LP to share with you tonight. I skipped right over this one a bunch of times during the season, mostly because I didn't think it was very good, but perhaps you're like me and you...

Here's another single to drag the Christmas season out with. Not much info about this one, hoping maybe one of you can suss out some details beyond what I found over at Discogs. If you look up this...

Here's another oddball 45 I found this past year, something I really wasn't expecting. Side one of this single from Danny Thomas is a song from the TV special Cricket On The Hearth, something I've...

Tonight's Christmas record is something I've been holding back for a while because my blogging buddy Buster shared it out previously, and I didn't want to step on his toes. But here it is anyway, I...

The share tonight was something I thought that only I had ever found, but it turns out Stubby shared this one with the world many years ago. Oh well, it's still a good share, and I'm sure some of you...

Well, the Christmas post from last night has so far generated exactly zero comments. I'm going to take that as a sign that Christmas music fatigue has finally begun to set in among my visitors. But...

This may be my shortest post of the year, but it's one of my favorite finds. I've known of it for a long time, but when I found a copy of it in the bin, I figured there was no way I was going to be...

Well, that's it. There is nothing more in the pile that I can share. Everything else I recorded this year is for my own personal enjoyment and can't be shared because it's out there in the world for...

Tonight's record is a really old release, dating from before the time of the Flu Pandemic of 1918. Seems that what we're going through is not so new after all, and we're a whole lot smarter about...

Sorry if I haven't been keeping after this as much as I would like. I subscribed to CBS All Access and started watching Star Trek Picard while it was free, and I'm completely hooked. I'm a little past...

Been a couple of weeks, but I'm still here. And I'm still working, so that's a good thing. I try to stay home on the weekends, not leaving the house for 60 hours or so, and it's tough. I don't know...
