I think it a great that Mr Barrett will have a new CD available - but I so do not need another Christmas Album. I think my last one purchased was by Barbara Cook and I really don't think that much of it. (And I usually love her recordings).
I probably have about 40 christmas CDs - Ella Fitzgerald, The Beach Boys, The Seekers, Peter Paul & Mary, The BK produced Hollywood and Broadway ones, The Larry Ochestrations, Linda Eder, Michael Ball, Nat King Cole, Don McLean etc etc etc. I still play The Carpenters CDs the most.
