Gene Autry - The Complete Columbia Christmas Recordings
This dazzling CD was a gift from my son Alex for Christmas. It was the first time he ever ordered anything from Amazon ! It's hard to find newer obscurer new releases in a town of 225,000 (like Fort Wayne). You don't find many stores stocking their shelves the way they do like in New York, Indianapolis, or Chicago. Try explaining that to a seven year old with a list. I'm not sure why Alex picked this particular CD but my hunch is that since his oldest sister picked a "snow princess" like Peggy Lee , he had to pick something masculine and went with the only male artist on my list. When he saw a cowboy on the cover, it was a done deal. A few clicks of the mouse, the order was in, and Alex was exhausted from shopping. On Christmas morning, I opened this CD and thanked my son for his gift. I asked him if he knew who Gene Autry was. "Dad, he's a COWBOY!!!" was all I got and he went back to playing with his gifts. Not just a cowboy, son. Gene...
