First day of summer? Great - have some Christmas music.
I was making a copy of most (if not all) of my Hawaiian albums to ship off - and it caught my attention that I had a couple of tracks worthy of the title "pretty damn hard to find" - so here, have a couple:
Na Leo Pilimehana - 'Kana Kaloka Here Comes Santa Claus' - Na Leo is one of those female acoustic trios very popular over there, and since the last two trips to Hawaii have been in November, it was easy to pick up one Christmas album the last time.
Ambrosia - 'Holdin On To Yesterday' - This one I remember from my four-hour stints with Kasey Kasem's AT40 on Sunday afternoons in the summer, oh back in the day. You don't really want to know how old this is, do you? If I remember right, this is the group Atlanta used to test the acoustics at a new amphitheater they had just built - and like a lot of groups from the seventies, most of the discs haven't made it to CD pressing. I think I found this in one of the two places the cut made it to CD - both of them "collections" of various artists.
Neither of these artists have huge recording label contracts, so finding their stuff is pretty hit-or-miss. Enjoy!
