    What an awesome podcast! I hadn't realized that I 'knew' the music of Leroy Anderson, but it is very familiar and wonderful to hear. My son (although a horn player) helped out at a fundraiser for his college trumpet section this summer and joined in on Bugler's Holiday and other pieces - he had alot of fun with that one, and you're right - it'll certainly stick in your mind! :)

    Thanks again for such great podcasts - take care! Kim
  • Hi Kim, Thanks for your email. Have a great holiday, and try not to hum too much Leroy Anderson.

    Too bad this CD isn't avilable outside North America. I enjoyed this podcast and was on my way to buying this CD but could not. Maybe I will download it instead.
  • Hi Mikael, Thanks for the email. If you are looking to download this CD, try our Naxos download site at www.classicsonline.com. I know it's there, I just checked.

    I spend the whole year listening to Raymond and Naxos Podcast, learning every week more and more about this god’s blessing to mankind, which is classical music.
    When I listened to this podcast I was absolutely amazed by Leroy Anderson’s music. I couldn’t resist it. I had to buy it all.
    Thank you Leroy Anderson for yor legacy, and thank you Raymond Bisha for bringing us these absolutely amazing moments of joy.
    Merry Christmas and god bless you.
  • great podcast - I went and bought 2 of the Naxos albums today!
