We have reached the final week of Christmas medleys!
As the week progresses, you will notice a distinct change in the music as it grows more and more traditional and we focus on the real reason for the season.
One name on today’s list may not be familiar to you but you may recognize her last name. She is the daughter of loyal column reader (and listener) Don Doyle but that is not the reason Victoria is included. The reason she’s here is because she has a stunning voice and we asked Don if Victoria objected if we used her song. Fortunately for us (and you), she didn’t.
Christmas Memories … That’s What We’re All About

Final Week of Christmas Medleys / Part 1
Perry Como – Burl Ives – Platters
Victoria Doyle – Pentatonix – Johnny Mathis
Brook Benton – Frank Sinatra
Hi Ray, Good Morning. It sure is “Starting to feel a lot like Christmas “. Growing up Perry Como, Burl Ives and Johnny Mathis were the sound of Christmas in my home. Burl Ives especially seemed to be the sound of Christmas. I know he had a successful career as both a Folk Singer & actor but his Christmas songs are what still stick in my mind.
Victoria Doyle is now the sound of everything in our home. We are so proud of her. Her hard work and talent makes my heart swell. I love to hear her voice. Like many other families, we won’t be together this year, so the message of her song especially resonates. Thank you for including her and this beautiful song.
Ray, I really appreciate the effort you put into this project, you bring a lot of smiles and good memories back to your listeners.
Don,
Absolutely no thanks necessary for playing Victoria’s song. It was very much my pleasure.
You have every reason to be proud. ❤️
ROCK ON, BRO!
A great way to kick off the week and the final days until Christmas. I loved hearing Victoria’s rendition. She has an amazing voice! Feeling for all those who wish to be together but cannot be. These songs are helping to keep as connected as possible. XOXOXOXO
Thanks, Wendyl ❤️
I agree with your thoughts on Victoria’s voice. She has a very special talent.
As always, I am so happy you enjoyed the mix!
XOXOXOXO
Love this melody!!! Thank you for playing my song! I am honored!
I also really enjoyed The Platters song, as that one was new to me!
Thank you, I love it when I can introduce older music that is new to listeners.
Thank you, Victoria. It was my honor and pleasure. You belonged there. 🙂
It’s definitely a relaxing day for me. This is the third medley I’ve listened to and each one is perfect. I love Burl Ives singing Christmas carols … this segment is outstanding Ray and I love that you included Victoria’s song … yes her family should be very proud of her …. with so much snow and these songs it’s hard not to feel the spirit of Christmas …. you’ve given us so much Ray – I hope you realize that! Rock this very Merry Day my friend ….
Barbara, you are so kind. I enjoy what I do and it is people like YOU who make the effort worthwhile.
Victoria has a beautiful gift and I was happy to share it.
Rock This “Almost Christmas” Night!
