Title: Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson
Post by: JimH on December 01, 2021, 07:07:46 pm
I'm listening to Antenna's Xmas playlist just uploaded to Cloudplay. Thanks, Antenna!
One of the songs was Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride. I found it on Youtube:
I played trumpet in the 9th grade orchestra and this was a lot of fun to play. I battled with the first chair trumpeter so I could do the solo. The horse whinny at the end was the prize.

Hi Jim -
Thanks for the compliment.
I like the version of Sleigh Ride by Squirrel Nut Zippers that I included on the playlist. They seem to convey a sort of happy energy in the songs they play. I like their style. Their version of Sleigh Ride conveys that.
I remember the version that you noted on youtube. That is the classic version I remembered from days gone by. I may even have it on vinyl but if I do, it is probably tucked away in one of the far corners of a spare bedroom upstairs. I could send out an expedition, but it probably wouldn't yield results until the holiday playlists for Christmas 2022 are created. ;D
