Screen Guild Theatre, Holiday Inn, with Bing, Dinah Shore, and a host of others. To squeeze the story into 20 some-odd minutes, much of the story is told by Bing as Jim Hardy reminiscing.

Duke Ellington's version of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker.
Here's a little insight into the album:

Thanks, but it's a shame it was not released on vinyl too. Somehow I don't like CD's anymore.

Lyrics
Sorry dear, what's the use?
No excuse, all of your pleadings in vain
You have had your chance
Gone is our romance
Sorry dear, someone else now is here
Taking your place to remain
Love has lost its flame
And you're all to blame

You went away too far
And you stayed away too long
You thought that you were right
But now you know you were wrong
You should have known the danger
When you left me behind
Because I'm the kind
That must have love all the time

You left me all alone
The fault was all your own
I'm not to blame if someone came
To cheer me along
I met somebody who resembles you
He kissed me once
And what was I to do?
You went away too far
And you stayed away too long

Hurry up, run away, don't delay
This is a dangerous place
Someone else will be
Here at half past three
Someone who doesn't care much for you
May change the smile on your face
Throw your Ford in high
Here's your hat, goodbye.

I needed company
A little sympathy
A kiss or two when one is due
Will help things along
I met somebody with a heart and soul
He squeezed me once and then I lost control
You went away too far
And you stayed away too long.

 

[Stray Cat]

You left me all alone
The fault was all your own
I'm not to blame if someone came
To cheer me along

I MUST say: I love this part.

This is one beautiful Czech carol

That is very nice. Is it a folk song, or is it a religious composition?

I don't much care for most of "our" carols, but all these Christmas threads started me into looking for some less hokey sounding ones.

I really love that one. That's the kind of music I play late at night on Christmas Eve.
