Here is post number one, in my attempt to write a post every day between now and Christmas. Our patron saint, Thurl Ravenscroft, recorded lots of Christmas music, and here's the 35 minutes I have in my collection. This includes 3 songs in which Thurl plays Santa, four tracks about the birth of Jesus (a subject dear to Thurl's heart -- his first public performance was in the church choir), and clips he recorded for Christmastime in the Disney parks.Tracklisting:
01. Country Bear Christmas #1
02. Billy May - Do You Believe in Santa Claus
03. The Pixies - Santa's Too Fat for the Hula Hoop

I'd love to hear this, but it won't unzip on my mac for some reason.
Any suggestions?
I've uploaded the files individually to a directory. I won't leave them up long, but they'll be up at least a week. Enjoy!

Awesome! Thanks for the new holiday soundtrack, and a very merry Christmas to you!
It's entirely my pleasure, Mike. I'll do about anything to spread The Gospel of Thurl.
Hope you're enjoying it.
Merry Christmas right back at ya!
