Yes, as soon as the Halloween stuff comes down, stores begin playing Christmas music, because really, is there any Thanksgiving music? I think for many of us, our "taste" (if that even applies in this case) in Christmas music is based on what we heard as kids around the house, so for me, despite the fact that I know better, there's a soft spot in my heart for Andy Williams. My legacy to my son? The "Santa Clause Blues" collection on Jass Records (woefully out of print) -- mostly jazz and blues that are either out of copyright (or just booted). More on all this as we get closer to the real holiday season (not just the retail version.)
