December 12th, 2011 One Heck of a Guy
Allison
Crowe’s
resonant,
rich,
gorgeous
voice
seems
as
much
a
manifestation
of
Christmas
as
an
instrument
for
singing
holiday
songs.
Indeed,
a
Christmas
season
at
Heck
Of
A
Guy
without
an
Allison
Crowe
post
would
be
like
Christmas
without
–
well,
without
a
performance
by
Allison
Crowe.
Visions Of Boney M. Dance In Allison’s Head
Allison,
who
is
currently
in
the
midst
of
her
annual
Christmas
Concert
Tour,1
responded
to
my
request
for
a
Christmas-specific
memory:
I have one memory in particular of decorating the tree, (I needed a step-stool then and I still do now), in my Scottie dog pajamas and pink satin princess hat with lavender crepe train, and my initials in purple sequins, (part of my Halloween costume made by Mom), and putting up white pearly sparkly musical instruments and notes ornaments near the top of the tree and listening to Boney M.
That album is so totally ingrained for me that I can’t even tell you now if I was actually listening to it at that moment, or if that’s just the mental soundtrack that’s permanently in my head for Christmas.
Yep,
a
very
young
Allison
Crowe,
clad
in
Scottie
dog
pajamas
and
pink
satin
princess
hat,
decorating
the
tree
to
music
from
the
Boney
M.
holiday
album
-
now
that’s
Christmas.

Christmas
Videos
Allison
Crowe
has
published
a
holiday
album
called
“Tidings,”
the
songs
from
which
have
been
broadcast
live
as
a
TV
special,
so
she
has
a
batch
of
Christmas
songs
from
which
to
choose.
These
are
a
couple
of
my
favorites
(today):
O
Holy
Night
