plainjane Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 When hubby and I first met, we fell in love to John Denver music. I know most will probably say "blah" to that, but his music did play a part in our courtship. We married in 1973 and in 1975 John put out the "Rocky mountain Christmas" album. Naturally we grabbed it up, and it became the Holiday staple at our house. Our two Children grew up listening to that album every single year. My hubby passed away ten years ago, and to this day we can't listen to that music. I watched the tree lighting show at Rockefeller Center tonight, and Rod Stewart was on. He, along with Cee Lo Green, have put out Christmas albums this year. My question to Eric is this, would you ever consider making your own Christmas album? Original songs, or not, I would love to start a new tradition with my Family. I would love to start it with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 IF Eric doesn't come through, I recommend Richard Marx' Christmas CD as a great alternative - And if I had a chance To make one wish And know it would come true I'd start all over with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I've always wondered if Eric will ever be moved to create a holiday album. I would guess not, but... if he did, I'd love to hear his treatment of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainjane Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thank you so very much Jerry! I love Richard Marx! I have about worn out my "rush street" CD. The song "keep coming back" is the best! I had no idea he put out a Christmas CD. I'm sure it will be fantastic, and I plan to get one. The two songs that always bring me to tears during the Holidays...well, anytime actually, are "Oh holy night" and "Ave Maria" With Eric's incredible voice, and musical genius, I'm sure he could make a wonderful Christmas CD. One that would withstand the test of time. Thanks again Jerry. Your the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianchick Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I love the Richard Marx as well...but...can you imagine...listening to a Christmas Album by Eric, backed by the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra...what a dream that would be for me!

I was going to do it for the CD I helped make for my church, and was to record it on Sept. 15, 2001...we all know what happened on the 11th. Being that it was the last track to be recorded, everything was canceled and...the CD was put out with the songs recorded during July and August. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed. Anway, again...love, love, love that song! You (per usual) have GREAT taste in music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainjane Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Rod sure did do a wonderful job Wendy-Ann. He has great style, just like Eric. I also LOVED that red and white dress that Mariah Carey wore. Wow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainjane Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Thank you so much Jerry! Richard Marx still has that wonderful voice. I will be making this CD part of my Holiday collection. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I think I remember that episode -- wasn't that a kids-melt-Grinchy-character story line? Not bad at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it was the "grizzled but kindly loner" in a ghost town telling a story about the town's history in which the Partridge crew played old west denizens of the town (another tried and true sitcom angle). The old man was never grinchy, rather Reuben Kincaid played the grinchy guy from the past. The grizzled guy teared up because he thought he was spending Christmas alone (once the Partridges fixed their ailing bus), but they felt sorry for him and came back to spend Christmas with him. Nice episode, nice song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice episode, nice song. Ah, it's all coming back now, David. A couple years ago, my girls (now 13 and 9) noticed a couple of Partridge Family DVD sets at the library, so they checked 'em out — first Season 1, then Season 2, and watched all of the episodes over the course of a few weeks. They loved it. I watched a number of the old episodes with 'em but I must have missed that one. (The skunk episode with "I Think I Love You" comes to mind as one I remember, and there was another that stood out because of "She'd Rather Have the Rain" — another nice song. I think Reuben had some young babe lined up in that one, but of course it fell through.) Interestingly (or not), it took a few episodes for my girls to realize that Reuben wasn't the dad or the husband. After that phase, they moved on to another old sitcom set (Gilligan's Island, I think; they had already soaked in a few seasons of Brady Bunch....).

PaulMaul Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Fantastic! My 6 year old son likes the show too. He enjoys acting out the episodes after we watch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
