Many of this week's tunes came from the following albums (selected favorites in bold)..
(I was pleasantly surprised by The Moody Blues offering - I'd only sampled bits of it in the past but it's likely to get a lot more spins from me in future. The Bing Crosby album 'A Time to be Jolly" is a one of Der Bingle's later efforts and holds great sentimental value for me -thus four tracks make the list - how many will survive until the end remains to be seen.)
