FW: BG: Christmas Music Suggestions?

[Lloyd, Bruce]

To Webmaster... You are invited to post this please. Thank you.   To: Doris Bradley   Dear Doris, Thank you for your note below. And thank you for reminding me of the great version by the Stanley Brothers of "Christmas Time's a Coming". Yes, I remember. Excellent energy and feeling. I'll get it out tonight and listen to it again.   On locating the version by Bill Monroe, I would go to Dave Freeman at County Sales at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]       Dave and the folks at County know everything.   Best regards. We'll talk again soon. Thank you, Bruce Lloyd _______________     -----Original Message----- From: owner-bluegrass@drralphstanley.com [mailto:owner-bluegrass@drralphstanley.com] On Behalf Of Doris Bradley Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 1:18 PM To: bluegrass@drralphstanley.com Subject: RE: BG: Christmas Music Suggestions?     12/9/2005   Dear All:   I actually had to search for "Christmas Time's a Comin'" done by my uncle William.  I have it on a record album & a cassette-I can play the cassette tape & it is really VERY good.  It's as good as any I'd heard even though I don't think my tape is in top condition.  I replayed the Stanley Brothers version also & that one can't be beat either.   I'm wondering if anyone knows of a CD of this song by Monroe?  I've only checked a couple of places, but didn't turn the cassette up in the form of a CD.  Thanks.....     Keep loving bluegrass & mountain music, it's the best music in the world!   Cordially your friend,     Doris. Quoting "Lloyd, Bruce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:   " " " " " " " " To Webmaster... You are welcome to post this on your site. Thank you. " " " " One of my favorites will always be "Christmas Time's A Coming" written " " by the famous Tex Logan, and performed by Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass " " Boys... I forget the actual date but I remember hearing this in the late " " 50's sometime. Bill's amazing strong tenor voice just lifted that number " " up to the heights that it deserved, and of course Bill's mandolin break " " was super, and forget about the fiddle break. It was just phenomenal. " " " " I later met Tex after he got his Phd from MIT, and was living over in " " Morris County, NJ while he was working at Bell Laboratories. It was the " " super hero (in this area) for bluegrass promotion work Doug Tuchman who " " got Tex (amazing fiddle player) to come into the city to help out " " Charlie Moore who was coming through and put on a great show in New York " " City at New York University Law School.
