John Gart -Sleigh Ride

This is the opening track of Side Two from one of the greatest and one of my all-time favorite Christmas albums ever. Performed by John Gart on the Conn Electronic Organ with the Yultiders. This album has holiday favorites performed by Mr. Gart and his Conn Organ is accompanied by xylophones, whistles, bells and chimes. Released in 1959 by Kapp Records, KS-3065. I have the original special copy on red vinyl with a special Christmas label but have two others on later issues on black, ENJOY!!!!!

Do you have the Kapp album where he play Beyond the Blue Horizon?

Sorry, I wished I did. I even checked and thought it was on the Harbor Lights or the Beyond the Sea LPs.

I own John Gart's 1927 Steinway piano and am very fond of his style of arranging and playing. John wrote out every note of each arrangment he created - truely an educated musician. Great video here!

Thanks. Yes, John Gart put out some great albums on Kapp Records and this album has to be my all-time favorite as well as his South of the Border album. Right now, I own about four other albums and looking for others by him.

I used to have the LP "Marches in Stereo (Hi-Fi)" where it does have "March of the Toys". But this LP had a rare Kapp label with the name "Merry Christmas" on it. Later copies of that album had the Kapp logo with a marching uniform cap on there from the early 60's and another one from the mid 60's had a similar uniform cap with the black label.
