  4. Thanks Gerard. Although I own a lot of blues Christmas music, I have very few of the tunes in this compilation. Looking forward to hearing it. Merry Christmas to you and all of the others on this list.

    1. Hi, bluesandrhythm. Have you connections with the magazine of the same name? I've sent a message by Messenger to Mr Burke that he seems not to have seen...

    2. No, alas, I have no connection to that fine magazine. I do some radio work in the States, but very low key. I simply appreciate the way you have expanded my knowledge and, in many cases, my playlist. Merci beaucoup et bonne année.
