So long as we have hands to clasp”

Hello everyone,

I wanted to provide an update on the Norman Luboff Choir videos I’ve been sharing on Finnley’s Audio Adventures. Unfortunately, due to actions taken by Sony Music Entertainment (SME), several of these cherished videos have been blocked worldwide.

Initially, these videos were flagged for copyright, but the content was allowed to be published by the copyright holder. However, SME (Sony Music) has since changed the status of each video, leading to them being blocked. This is especially disheartening given that searching YouTube for these specific albums from the Norman Luboff Choir yields few results, with only a couple of tracks from “Songs of the Sea” available.

It’s truly unfortunate that such a significant piece of musical history is being kept from modern audiences. The Norman Luboff Choir’s legacy deserves to be accessible and enjoyed by all. Thank you all for your understanding and continued support. Let’s hope that someday, these timeless melodies will be free to resonate with listeners once more.

In the mean time the blog entry remains up to celebrate the story and legacy.

Best,

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Celebrating the essence of the holiday season with this Dr. Seuss classic.

“You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch,
You really are a heel,
You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch”

"The president of Kellogg’s said, 'Frosted Flakes is the largest-selling cereal in the entire world. And it’s all your damn fault!’”
— #ThurlRavenscroft (1914–2005)

The actor and singer who voiced Tony the Tiger for more than 50 years and sang "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” in #HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas (1964) was #BornOnThisDay.

I earwormed myself with #DojaCat's "Juicy" early this week and now it haunts me, lol.

And because we are the way we are, Aaron picked it up too, and now I have heard his impression of #ThurlRavenscroft singing it and can't stop giggling.

Still need to finish packing, yup.

Tonight in 1966 — #HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas debuted on CBS, based on the book by #DrSeuss.

#BorisKarloff narrated and voiced the Grinch. #ThurlRavenscroft sang. #ChuckJones produced and directed.
