While on vacation some time back I bought a CD called Christmas in the Smoky Mountains (sorry, the only place I could find it online is on eBay, so that link will probably expire before too long, but as of this posting it is still available, and only a $0.49 bid required!). This is basically old-time folk music featuring guitar, mandolin, violin, harpsichord, banjo, harmonica, and other acoustic instruments. While this is not the most deluxe production or arrangements I find it enjoyable and am glad I picked it up. Buying Christmas music CDs as souvenirs has become a regular routine for me when I travel. It has led me to all sorts of unusual recordings and some of them are very enjoyable. At the very least they help to bring back memories of various trips.
