Glad to hear you know who Suzy is Rob! Yep, I do believe you are right, a victim of a poor timing. She is incredible and deserved more recognition. I guess she really is country, but I she doesn't sound that way on my Christmas CD. I bought the CD at her concert and was out in two music stores today and couldn't find it. I guess maybe it could be ordered on Amazon or Ebay or sth. I never tire of it, I'll tell you that!
Debbie, that song you posted by Celtic Woman is beautiful. I watched the special on PBS the other night...my favorite was O Holy Night. Unreal!!

I remember Suzy well. I bought one of her albums in the early '90s. She had a sweet country voice, and scored a few hits on the charts. But as I understand it, she was a victim of really bad timing. Just as her career was on the rise, she took a few years off to start a family. When she was ready to make a comeback, people like Shania Twain and Faith Hill had gotten huge, and the industry had pretty much forgotten about Suzy. It's a shame.
Rob and Amy I love Susie Boggus too. My favorite is Someday soon and Aces. She definitely is country, I've always wondered what happened to her because I have her one and only album.
Oh and Savannah...
Is the song you hate "The Twelve days of Christmas"?
Five golden rings, four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves.......and a partridge in a pair tree.

:shy: Sorry, I didn't see that you'd asked me that. Nope, that isn't the one. I heard the dreaded song today at the store, too, and about keeled over!!
I have a Christmas cd by Judy Collins that I really like, and another (cassette, though) by Twila Paris. Twila's version of O Holy Night is the most beautiful that I've ever heard. Although, I heard Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle) sing it recently, and I was just blown away. He has such an amazing voice!!

Wow. Remind me not to sing that around you. No, it isn't Silent Night. *whispering* That's actually a favorite of mine.

Once I saw a cartoon that showed a little boy in a choir singing at the top of his lungs, "LEON, LEON!" The choirmaster came over and turned his sheet music around... "NOEL, NOEL!"
Is it Jingle Bell Rock?

My goodness Rob---I know a good anger management therapist if you need one. :unsure:
I am really stuck on this, Savannah---I would have surely thought it was that "Hippopotamus for Christmas" song, but I see you like that one.
Is it the Paul McCartney one "It's Christmastime" or SLT? I know I for one can't stand that song. Star105.7 plays it ALL the time. ARGH. I don't know, I'm just totally annoyed by it.

They actually played this on the radio the other day and I had a silly grin on my face the whole time!! I had the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas album growing up and I think I drove my parents crazy with how much I listened to it!! LOL!

I'll give you a hint....It's a more modern song. You wouldn't find it in any hymn book.
