A great year with and for Maggie ... 

What a year 2024 was ...

Le's ongoing health issues (surgeries, tests, and more) ... 

Le's employment issues (besides TSG)  ... Loss of Le's brother John ...

Car issues costly us much ... and so much more.

But through all the trials and tribulations of 2024,

I am such a lucky man to have Mary Jane with me on this journey.

TSGcreations / TSGsports / Le Sheppard photos - Robert Malcolm Sheppard, Sr. .. Pop / Dad / Bob

No time this year for writing my Christmas posts, so I will repeat this one from a year ago along with a beautiful piece of music — 12.19.17 ... Growing up there was always music around the holidays as there was all year round (being surrounded by talented artists and musicians). Whether at Granny Fulmer's or in our Sheppard home on the farm or up at Uncle John and Aunt Skip's in Lancaster - someone was always playing the piano (Uncle John, Dad, or one of us) and other instruments. Singing carols, hymns, and songs while harmonizing. At times there was even a string ensemble. Best for me was hearing Pop on the piano alone and playing for himself. Simple and heartfelt - my Father's and his brother's musical and artistic legacy. Pictured is a VERY young Bob Sheppard (Pop) on the left, his brother John Sheppard (the artist) at the piano, and my Mother's brother Roy Fulmer with 3 women sitting around the piano at Granny Fulmer's in Cold Point.
AND ... this from Abbey Road posted today. Beautiful.

Christmas Music and Movies

"THE" Christmas Song

A MUSICAL HISTORY LESSON

Nat 'King' Cole - "The Christmas Song"


This is the very first recording of this classic

by Nat with just the trio. King Cole Trio recorded

in 1946 on June 14, 1946 in NYC.

This version was never

released during Cole's lifetime

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdMSDg4tDCI


Later that same year (08.19.1946),

this version  was recorded with the

a string section and a harpist and drums

as Not wanted.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-RXKcc0sZs


In 1953 came the first version to feature a full orchestra 

with Ralph Carmichael conducting. Recorded in mono.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU1f8K3XH6c


Finally, in 1961 came the version most played nowadays 

with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Stereo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-FqB1JfRLE


Every one is perfect.


The Christmas Carol

Every year we Sheppards would gather and listen to the record of the old radio broadcast of Lionel Barrymore playing Scrooge in "The Christmas Carol" with Richard Hide narrating while using our imaginations to see the best version ever looking / staring at scary illustrations in a book Dad had. Fond memories - we all knew it by heart - and would quote it often ... LINK


As noted, Le's favorite Scrooge is from the book we looked at while listening to the Lionel Barrymore record as children in the Sheppard house . But as for the the rest (Alastair Sim, Magoo, Michael Caine in the wonderful musical "The Muppet Christmas Carol", and Albert Finney in the musical Scrooge), Alastair Sim is the favorite.
