Here's an album from one of my favorites - Walter Brennan! I don't know why, but I just loved this man - in all his movies, in his TV shows, and on record (I have several of his albums!). My favorites of his songs are "Old Rivers" and "Old Shep" - they both bring me to tears because they're so sad and he was such a good story teller. For those of you who aren't familiar with Walter's recordings, he didn't sing - he spoke along to background music and sometimes background singers. Walter just seemed like such a nice man - sort of like a kindly grandfather. And his voice was perfect for telling stories, especially sad or sentimental ones - something about the timbre of his voice, I guess. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this Christmas album - "Just Three Letters for Christmas" will be sure to bring a tear to your eye.

What an excellent LP! I found my own copy a few years back and have made sure it gets several spins around the ol' turntable come Christmastime.

Hi, Vince!
"With Love from Hollywood" is the only Shirley Jones and Jack Cassidy album that I have, and I posted it on October 18. I love the album! According to one of my books, they only recorded one other album together called "Speaking of Love" - but I've never seen it.
Thanks for visiting!
