Many, many thanks

All of you on my Flist are so unbelievably wonderful. I put out a request thinking maybe a couple folks might have one or possibly two songs for my Christmas tape resucitation efforts, and I got flooded with wonderful music. Thank you all so much! I'm happily putting together a facsimile of my old tape (I confess I do not miss Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree nor Run Run Rudolph, as I had just gotten to the point where I couldn't listen to them anymore, even though the tape is absurdly sentimental) and I'm bopping to my Christmas tunes and having a wonderful evening despite the torrential rain and a sore mouth. For the first time in decades I won't have to adjust the volume every five seconds!

I know these are not that unusual (well, the Louis Armstrong might be) or hard to get, but just in case, I thought I'd put these up as thanks. I have much more obscure non-Christmas music that I can offer as thanks, and, weirdly, Halloween stuff. Also if you need Ramones Christmas songs, let me know. ;-) But for some reason I've rarely replaced my holiday vinyl with digital stuff.

Song for a Winter's Night-- Sarah McLachlan's surprisingly pretty version of the Gordon Lightfoot classic

2000 Miles , the Pretenders' Christmas song

'Zat You, Santa Claus? a really cute and funny Louis Armstrong song

Just right click (or option click for Maccers) and save to your computer. I'll try to see if I can come up with something more unusual to share. You guys are so wonderful!

The Armstrong one is very odd, but one of my favs. :P

It definitely isn't your mom's Christmas song, that's for sure! But it's so silly that I cannot resist it.

I just saw this on someones friends-list, and since I'm a big fan of christmas music, and get really happy every time I find something new, I downloaded both the Pretenders and Louis Armstrong.

Thank you!

I'm so glad! I put up a couple more, Ramones and Elvis, today. I might even see about throwing some of the ones people shared with me later as we get closer to the holiday.

I downloaded all three (greedy me!), but I'm most excited about the Pretenders, 'cause it's been running through my mind *nonstop* lately because I am moving 2000 miles very soon!

Yay!!!!! I'm so glad that it was good for someone. I just figured that since most people can do stuff I can't do yet, everyone would have what they wanted, but I'm so glad that at least one person got a good song off it!

Thank *you* so much, I downloaded the McLachlan song. The other two are favorites of mine, especially 2000 Miles as that one I do play year round.

Springsteeen's Run, Run Rudolph? I think I have that one. I also have versions of Rockin' Around the Christmas tree, but don't know if I have the one you want.
