Welcome to episode 132 of Holly Jolly X'masu! In this New Year’s
Eve bonus episode, I talk about the 1979 album, “Christmas Carol
With Go Go,” by Korean guitarist Ra Eum Pa.
I hope you enjoyed “Christmas Carol With Go Go.” It’s been a rough
week so I had to rush through this episode. Given a couple more
weeks, I might have been able to find that blog that talked about
Ra Eum Pa, but I gave up after two to three hours of searching. I
was in the middle of an allergic reaction when I recorded it, so I
sound a bit off as well.
Have a happy New Year, and be sure to tune in next time when I talk
about the 1963 album, “$100 Million Christmas In Stereophonic
Sound,” featuring Hiroshi Ishimaru conducting the Tokyo Symphony
Orchestra. I misidentified it as a Mood Kayo album during this
episode, but it’s actually a fantastic orchestral Christmas album
and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If
have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album
for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.
Remember, I've added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you'd like to support me one cup
of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I’ve also opened
a Redbubble store. I only have a
couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I’ll be trying to add
more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to
support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to
purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future
episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!
