Merry Christmas Everyone

I just wanted to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas. I believe that it may already be Christmas Day in some parts of the world (I'm not an expert on time zones)

If you are in an area where you may get snow, please take extra caution driving to friends and families and have a safe holiday.

CHRISTMAS ISN'T JUST A DAY IN DECEMBER, IT'S A WAY OF LIFE

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate the Holiday

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate the Holiday. I know that people from all over the world visit blog's and not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving and also want to wish everyone Good Health, Life and Happiness.

Moving is complete

Hello everyone. Well, the move is complete, but now I can't find anything as people who helped pack stuff put a mixture of everything in the same box and my records are all in different places too so it will take a little time to find them and and I will try to post something soon.

There may be a delay in responding to comments

Hello everyone. Over the next week or so there may be a delay in responding to any comments you may leave me. I don't foresee any problems, but one never knows when the phone company can activate our service for our new address.

Sorry folks that I haven't been posting much lately. Though I have been concentrating more on my Christmas Record blog. I am in the process of moving and hope to be able to start posting after the move when I get my computer and stuff set back up.

For those who may not be familiar with Bobby Russell I will post a little information about him here: Bobby Russell 1941 - 1992.
Bobby was briefly married to Vicki Lawrence. If his music sounds familiar it's because he wrote several hits. Honey (Bobby Goldsboro) Little Green Apples (Roger Miller) The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia (Vicki Lawrence) and The Joker Went Wild (Brian Hyland) Just to name a few.

All-Star Country

8 Records 96 Songs. In my opinion, some of the great country music artists from a bygone era. A lot of these songs I grew up listening to and still love to listen to them. They just don't sing them like they use to. Though some artist's are no longer with us, I remember them well.

Time Life "As You Remember Them"

I was going to post this 8 volume set myself, but our friends at Aydin's Oldies Garden beat me to it. Please visit their site.

7/16/10 Aydin's Oldies Garden is no longer around. I will see what I can do about posting these myself sometime in the future.

I changed the comment posting again

I decided to change the way comments are able to be left on my blog once again to encourage people to leave comments. Please do not leave any rude or profane comments as they will be deleted as well as spammers. Comments don't have to be approved anymore.

It would be nice to hear from other people who enjoy the music I post as much as I do especially since the music has been out of print for 30 or more years and very difficult to find.

I had to change the way comments are added to my posts

Sorry everyone. I have had to change the way comments are left on my blog because of getting SPAM comments and at the present time I can not delete them. Therefore, I have changed the comment section so that any comments must be approved by me before they are posted. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. I thank you for your understanding.

Ames Brothers - The Best Of The Ames

Sorry it's been a while since I posted anything here, I've been busy with my Christmas BLOG. Here are the Ames Brothers - The Best Of The Ames (1958) RCA Records LSP-1959(e).

There is a similar album out on CD but it has a few extra songs, so it isn't the same as this album and therefore I'm doing this post.
