Christmas Album - Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

FRANK SINATRA CHRISTMAS ALBUM

Advantages: JINGLE BELLS ALL THE WAY
Disadvantages: NOT SOMETHING I PLAY IN THE SUMMER

INTRO Why is it every Christmas I find myself getting a Frank Sinatra craze (am I the only one ?). Is it because Frank Sinatra is one of the best singers of all time or is it the fact I love to sing along with his catchy lyrics maybe so, but did you know that Frank Sinatra was once called quote: "The Voice" because there's never been a better voice for a microphone than his. As a big fan of Frank Sinatra I have more than a few of his CD's but there's only one that will always find its way to the top of the pile in my collection around this time of year,and that's the Frank Sinatra Christmas Album. FRANK SINATRA Real name Francis Albert Sinatra was born in 1915. He started out as a saloon singer and eventually became a member of a band called The Hoboken.

Review of Sinatra Christmas Album - Frank Sinatra

Tequila and table dancing in Tijuana, Mexico

Advantages: Good shopping, bars and clubs
Disadvantages: Can be sleazy

I spent the summer of 2003 working in California and during that time, I paid several visits across the border to Tijuana. When I told my work colleagues I was planning a trip, I was greeted with various, mostly negative reactions. "I hope they let you back into the states" "The police are corrupt, they'll arrest you for anything and take bribes".

Review of Tijuana (Mexico)

not quite the best christmas album...

Advantages: great selection of christmas classics
Disadvantages: singers doing covers of good songs,

Wrapping up your christmas presents! Putting up the decorations! What else could make you feel any more merrier than singing along to past and xmas tunes. This album seems to always be on sale in shops as soon as December starts to creep in. I'll give them credit though, once in a while I've taken a look on the back cover, yes despite the fact that I already own it, to find that two more songs have been added which I particularily enjoy. Making it exceedingly difficult for me to not buy it again. CD 1 has all the memorable tracks. Songs which I remember always being played at the end of term school christmas party. Sadly the edition I have does not inclue Whams' Last Christmas. Which I distinctively remember being a favourite at the time! Happy Xmas (War is Over), Do They Know It's Christmas?, Merry Xmas Everybody, I ...
