Did Santa bring you any records?

I actually only got one record for Christmas and it is something I already had.

Etta James - At Last (again lol)

What did you get?

my dad brought me some swingin' jazz records. donald byrd, harold mabern (60's record with george coleman), john stubblefield, adderley bros, some other stuff. old stuff of his. oh, and a nice copy of leon thomas's blues and the soulful truth. which was cool cuz i really like that album and i didn't have a copy. coryell and pretty purdie!

my bro in law got me a mingus record from ACADEMY RECORDS IN NEW YORK NEW YORK. (and he got himself a cool aboriginal record from there.)

i gave him a minty middle eastern christian vocal record. knew he would dig that.

My buddy gave me the Wooden Shjips holiday songs 12" that were previously released on a cassette.
Includes 'Auld Lang Syne" and "O Tannenbaum." It's good!
Didn't get to go record shopping on my Christmas trek to Memphis but I did see Girls of the Gravitron and the Limes at the Hi Tone, the Pirates and Snowglobe at the Hi Tone, and an instrumental sorta psychy/mathy trio at the Buccaneer whose name I didn't get.

Santa stopped by John Doe Jr. and brought me a fat stack
