Spinning My Dads VinylAuthor: Frank Vaccariello
Extensive and Eclectic and we hear them as is with skips, scratches, and pops. Being a radio and mobile DJ for a decade and a half, I collected several hundred albums. I had nothing on my dad who owned more than 500 (33 1/3) LPs and over 100 78 RPMs at the time of his death in December 2019. I had no idea he had so many. We found them spread all over the house when we prepared for the estate sale. I went through every one and categorized them on an app called Discogs. I thought so many were unique, I decided to start a podcast called Spinning My Dads Vinyl. Each episode will feature an album. Ill tell stories about the family listening to these albums and Ill give other info about the album and the time it was released.

Volume 252: A Champagne Christmas
Episode 252
Thursday, 25 December, 2025
Merry Christmas! My dad had a couple dozen records meant just for this time of year. So I HAD to come back for a Christmas Day music show. I talked a lot in yesterday's deep dive into the music of the seasonal favorite, The Nutcracker. So we're going to do a lot of listening in this one…and thinking about Christmas dinner pasts. This four record box set is filled with lots of holiday hits and some songs I’ve never heard before. Its source is one of the most beloved TV hosts and orchestra conductors from my youth. So get ready to hear that effervescent music from holidays past complete with a longed-for litany of my family’s favorite holiday food items in Volume 252 A Champagne Christmas. For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
